Kittipayak is new WBF World heavyweight champ

UNDEFEATED Tinnaphop Kittipayak of Thailand is the new World Boxing Foundation World heavyweight champion after he stopped Italian Alessio “The Hammer” Bisutti in at 48 seconds of the 1st round last October 25 at the World Siam Stadium in Bangkapi, Bangkok.

The 20-year-old Kittipayak posted his 8th win and eight knockout against no loss and draw.

It was Kittipayak’s only second fight since making a comeback after his brief retirement in 2022.

Kittipayak previously knocked out compatriot Phuwadit Thongsaen in the 1st round last April 6 at the Thai Payak Boxing Gym in Thanyaburi.

Bisutti, 48, suffered his only second loss against 14 wins and 12 knockouts.

He is also the UBO World heavyweight champion and IBF Asia heavyweight champion.

Meanwhile, 16-year-old Callum Steven Dan of the United Kingdom remained unbeaten after scoring a 1st round technical knockout against Ratthaphum Ngambaisri of Thailand to win the Asian Boxing Federation middleweight title in the main supporting bout.

Alessio Bisutti, Supanat Chanram, Devrai Das and Brico Santig were the promoters while Naris Singhawungcha was the official in charge.
