Yodsanklai Fairtex a.k.a. Yod (Thai: ยอดแสนไกล แฟร์เท็กซ์; born, July 1, 1985) is a Thai kickboxer and the former super welterweight WBC Muay Thai World champion at 154 lb and former three time Lumpinee Stadium champion in the 112 and 147 lb weight classes. He trains out of Fairtex Gym in Pattaya, Thailand and is the first champion of The Contender Asia.

He was nicknamed "The Boxing Computer" by Thai sports newspapers as a testament to his perfect fighting technique.

Background

Yodthanong Photirat was born in the Nong Bua Lamphu Province in Northeastern Thailand, the hotbed of Muay thai. He was introduced to the sport by his older brother Yodkangwan and started practicing Muay thai after watching his brothers' fights when he was eight years old. He had his first fight at a temple fair in Ban Na Dee, his hometown, and received a fight fee of 20 ฿.

Career

Early career

Before joining Fairtex in 2005, Yodsanklai fought for three camps - Saknipaporn, Sit-Khru-Od and Petchyindee. On August 2005, fighting under the name of Yodsanklai Petchyindee (ยอดแสนไกล เพชรยินดี), Yodsanklai won one of the most prestigious Muay Thai titles, the Lumpinee Stadium belt, by knocking out Runglaew. He became the 154 pound WBC Muay Thai World Champion by defeating Australian John Wayne Parr on December 10, 2005 in Gold Coast, Australia. In 2005 he won as well the Champion of Thailand (154 lb) title.

Yodsanklai defended his WBC title on November 11, 2006, against Mark Vogel in Wuppertal, Germany winning the fight by first round elbow knockout.

On June 30, 2006, Yodsanklai made his K-1 Max debut on a Superfight at the K-1 World MAX 2006 -World Championship Final- held in Yokohama, Japan against Kamal el Amrani, winning the fight by three round unanimous decision.

On November 29, 2007, Yodsanklai had a non-title contest at the "France vs Thailand" event, held in Paris, France against the French superstar Farid Villaume. Yodsanklai won the fight by third round referee stoppage TKO.

He fought former stablemate Kem Sitsongpeenong at Muay Thai Combat Mania: Pattaya in Pattaya, Thailand on December 30, 2012 at a weight of 71 kg/156 lb, with same-day weigh-ins. Despite having not made such a low weight in a number of years, Yod came in at the limit in visibly better shape than in most of his recent fights, and KO'd Kem with an elbow in round three.

Yod knocked out Gregory Choplin in round three at Lion Fight 8 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA on January 25, 2013.

He defeated Yohan Lidon by unanimous decision in a rematch at Warriors Night in Levallois, France on March 2, 2013.

On April 19, 2013, Yodsanklai TKO'd Naimjon Tuhtobaev in round two at Thai Fight: Pattaya 2013 in Pattaya, Thailand.

It was initially reported that he would fight Antuan Siangboxing at Thai Fight: Bangkok 2013 in Bangkok on June 29, 2013. However, his opponent was later switched to Kazbek Zubarov. He won via TKO at the end of round one when Zubarov suffered an injury.

He defeated Chike Lindsay for the inaugural Lion Fight Middleweight (-70 kg/154 lb) Championship at Lion Fight 10 in Las Vegas on July 26, 2013. Lindsay started well but Yodsanklai took over in round two and began to cut the American up before taking the unanimous decision.

It was reported that he would fight Raphaël Llodra at the WBC World Muay Thai Millennium Championship in Saint-Pierre, Réunion on September 7, 2013. However, he turned the fight down for monetary reasons.

He knocked out Vladimir Konsky with a first round elbow in the quarter-finals of the 2013 edition of Thai Fight's -70 kg/154 lb tournament in Thailand on October 23, 2013. Then he proceeded in semi finals where he defeated Samy Sana on November 30, 2013, and advanced to the final.

He was set to fight at Hero Legends in Jinan, China on December 3, 2014 but withdrew for undisclosed reasons. Yod was also briefly expected to fight in the main event of Lion Fight 13 in Las Vegas on February 7, 2014 but quickly withdrew.

He beat Keo Rumchang by second round KO at Thai Fight: Hua Hin 2014 in Hua Hin, Thailand on February 22, 2014.
