Ran Kijram (Thai: ราญ กิจรัมย์; born June 18, 1959), known professionally as Samransak Muangsurin (Thai: สำราญศักดิ์ เมืองสุรินทร์), is a Thai former professional Muay Thai fighter and amateur boxer. He is a former two-division Lumpinee Stadium champion who was famous in the 1980s and 1990s. Nicknamed "The Iron Fist, he is often regarded as one of the most fearsome punchers in the history of Muay Thai.[1]
Muay Thai career
[edit]After beating Smaranthong Kiatbanchong by KO in Lumpinee Stadium on 7 April 1992, Samransak announced his retirement from competition.[2] He since has been working as a Muay Thai trainer in various camps around Thailand and Japan.[3] [4]
Professional boxing career
[edit]Samransak had only one boxing fight in 1985 but in 1975 his promoter Thiamboon Inthrabut, who was also the promoter and mentor of Saensak Muangsurin, a boxer from the same camp who became world champion after just three fights, planned for him to follow a similar path. Thiamboon intended for him to fight for the world championship in his very first match. However, that fight never happened, and he did not box professionally again for many years as Thiamboon retired from boxing to run for Governor of Bangkok.[5]
