Bohic won the Lumpini Welterweight belt for the first time in June 2017, with a decision win over Pongsiri P.K.Saenchaimuaythaigym.[4] He was stripped of the title in July, as he was knocked out by Nontakrit Tor Morsi.[5][6] Bohic would however reclaim the title five months later, after defeating Simanoot Sor Sarinya by decision.[7]
He made his first title defense against Dylan Salvador, whom he beat by a fourth round KO.[8]

He successfully defended his Lumpini Stadium title for the fourth time with a fourth round knockout of Manachai in April 2019. Manachai was later suspended by Yokkao due to “questionable KO losses” and doubts surrounding “passion for the sport”.[15]
After a successful title defense, Bohic would go on to win his next two fights. He first defeated Chamuaktong Fightermuaythai by a fifth round TKO in the Lumpini Stadium.[16] It was followed up with a decision win over Yodpanomrung Jitmuangnon.[17]
In 2019 Rafi signed with ONE Championship and announced he was aiming to challenge Nong-O Gaiyanghadao for the ONE Muay Thai Bantamweight title.[18] Rafi Bohic was set to make his ONE Championship debut during ONE: Immortal Triumph, but was later replaced by Azize Hlali as Bohic had to pull out due to injury.[19]
