Introducing Wanheng Menayothin.

Nine months removed from one of the biggest fights in combative history, a lad hailing from Thailand has joined Mayweather's exclusive 50-0 club.
The 32-year-old defended his WBC mini-flyweight title against his Panamanian foe in style, dropping Estrada in the second and fourth round, before eventually stopping him in the fifth round.
It's his 18th career TKO/KO, while holding onto his belt which he's had since 2014.
As for the fight, once Wanheng found an opening he knew Estrada was going to be another name on his impressive record.

"I thought it would be tougher,'' Wanheng said after the world title contest via Bangkok Post.
"He is young and fast. But he lost guard early and I took the opportunity. It was easy from then on.
"I was never confident that I was winning as it was a 12-round fight. Now I'm happy that I have matched Mayweather's record," he said.
Wanheng's coach, Suparb Boonrod, praised his star pupil while setting their sights on another landmark.

"He is 32 but still very strong and fit. He is very disciplined and is a hard-working man, so winning his 51st consecutive match is possible."
The 105lbs fighter dubbed as 'Giant Dwarf' will be gunning for another record.
Retired-boxer Ricardo Lopez called time on his boxing career with a 51-0-1 record. He has the most victories without a loss.

Just like Wanheng, the Mexican campaigned at minimum weight while also enjoying a stint at light-flyweight.
Congrats, Wanheng.
