Sot Chitalada boxer

Sot Chitalada (Thai: สด จิตรลดา, RTGS: Sot Chitlada), born as Chaovalit Wongcharoean (Thai: เชาวลิต วงศ์เจริญ; RTGS: Chaowalit Wongcharoen; 5 May 1962, in Chonburi, Thailand) was formerly twice WBC and Lineal Flyweight Champion, having defended the title against nine boxers in total.Chitalada built a reputation as a Muay Thai in name Chaovalit Sithphrabrahma (Thai: เชาวลิต ศิษย์พระพรหม; RTGS: Chaowalit Sitphra-phrom) champion in Thailand before making the transition to professional boxing. After winning his first four professional fights, he challenged WBC Light flyweight Champion Jung-Koo Chang on 31 March 1984, losing a twelve-round decision.The name "Sot Chitalada" comes from the name of "Muns Sorchitpatana" (Thai: มันส์ ส.จิตรพัฒนา; RTGS: Man So-Chitphatthana), another boxer under the same manager. But Sorchitpatana losing by the former WBC Light flyweight Champion Netrnoi Sor Vorasingh and likely to retire. But the name Sorchitpatana also in the ranking of the WBC, his manager was a subrogate Chaovalit Sithphrabrahma to fight on behalf instead Muns Sorchitpatana. Later the rankings of the WBC was incorrect, Sorchitpatana became to Sot Chitlada eventually.Undaunted by the Chang loss, he won two more fights and a little over six months later shocked WBC and Lineal Flyweight Champion Gabriel Bernal, winning the world championships in his home country at Indoor Stadium Huamark, Bangkok.Chitalada is perhaps best-remembered for his fights with Bernal. The two met again twice in Bangkok. On 22 June 1985, Bernal fought Chitalada to a twelve-round draw, Chitalada keeping the titles. Bernal made another attempt eighteen months later, but on 10 December 1986 he lost another twelve-round decision to Chitalada. This was Bernal's final attempt at the Flyweight titles.Chitalada brought stability to the WBC and Lineal Flyweight titles, the six title holders prior to Bernal all losing the belts in their first defences, and Bernal losing his second defence. Following the first Bernal fight, Chitalada made six title defences (and won several non-title fights). During this run he defeated former world champions Charlie Magri and Freddy Castillo. He lost the titles on 24 July 1988, travelling to South Korea and losing a twelve-round decision to unbeaten (at that time) Yong-Kang Kim.
