3 August 2021: Sudaporn Seesondee became the first Thai female boxer to secure an Olympic medal after she narrowly ousted 2018 Youth Olympics gold medalist, Caroline Dubois of Great Britain, 3-2 in the women’s 60kg quarter-finals at the Kokugikan Arena on Tuesday.

 

The Thailand boxing team’s last hope did not let the fans down, producing strategically delivered punches and jabs to edge out the up-and-coming Briton in the third round, after tying at 1-1 in the first two, to reach the semi-finals.

 

At least a bronze is guaranteed for the 29-year-old Thai, who will go down in history as the first Olympic medalist in women’s boxing from Thailand.

 

“It was the happiest moment in my life when the referee raised my hand (as the winner),” said the Udon Thani based fighter, who had done her homework on the British southpaw coming into the bout.

Well done.

Congratulations! Like I've always said never get on the wrong side of an Udon Thani lady.

Is that photo of "her," if so, a DNA test is needed.
