Will Rodtang’s Nephew Be the Next Muay Thai Sensation After 40-Second Knockout Debut?
Rodtang Jitmuangnon has long been known as one of the most electrifying strikers in combat sports. Now, it looks like the fighting spirit runs in the family. Rodtang’s young nephew made headlines this week after scoring a decisive victory in his kickboxing debut—finishing the bout in just 40 seconds with a clean left hook knockout.
A video of the moment was shared widely on social media, capturing the youngster’s sharp timing and composed striking—a performance that drew comparisons to Rodtang’s own early days in the sport. Although the nephew’s name hasn’t been publicly confirmed, the footage highlights a fighter with natural instincts, poise beyond his age, and a clear Muay Thai foundation.
Rodtang, a ONE Championship star and former flyweight Muay Thai world champion, is famous for his relentless pressure and iron chin. He has competed in both Muay Thai and kickboxing at the highest levels, and now it appears his nephew may be taking his first steps down a similar path.
