Professional career
He originally won the title on October 20, 2012 in Manila, Philippines against AJ Banal but he failed to defend it against Namibia's Bantamweight Champion Paulus 'The Rock' Ambunda on the 2nd of March 2013,[1] in his first title defense.
On 12 July, 2014, he fought and lost to Tomoki Kameda via technical knockout inround 7 for WBO Bantamweight World Champion at MGM Grand Las Vegas.[2]
He later regained the title by beating Ryo Akaho.
Sor Singyu has been a world champion for the two times on August 7, 2015 with a win against Ryo Akaho Japanese boxer by KO in second round at Ratchaburi Province.
He defended the title one time before losing it to Marlon Tapales on July 27, 2016 via KO in round 11 at Ayutthaya Province, and was injured from a broken jaw since round 9.[3] Both fighters traded knockdowns, but Tapales was the one who had the final say in the 11th round, sending Singyu to the canvas, who was not even close to beating the count.[4]
On 6 September, 2020, Sor Singyu fought compatriot Campee Phayom for the WBA Asia super featherweight title. Phayom was boxing well, until the seventh round, when the experienced Singyu knocked him out cold with a powerful punch combination to finish the bout.[5]
