Professional career

He was born in Mueang Buriram District, Buriram province. He has practiced Muay Thai since the age of 9 with more than 300 fights under the names "D-Day Sor Thaneth" and "Palangpol Sor Thaneth" (ดีเดย์ ส.ธเนศ, พลังพล ส.ธเนศ), including bouts against the likes of Chatchai Sasakul, Wanheng Menayothin, Paipharob Kokietgym, etc. He has won three championships in two different weight classes of the Rajadamnern Stadium and Lumpinee Boxing Stadium.[2]

After moving under Petchyindee Boxing Promotion and adopted the name "Palangpol Petchyindee Academy" (พลังพล เพชรยินดีอะคาเดมี่), Palangpol struggled. At that time, Japanese boxer, Koki Eto travelled to Thailand to challenge for the WBA flyweight interim title against Kompayak Porpramook, he was pushed as Eto's sparring partner. He started his professional boxing career during this time.

He competed in Muay Thai and professional boxing alternately, winning the WBA Asia light flyweight title and highly ranked by the WBO.[3]

On September 13, 2017, at the age of 32, he challenged the WBO world champion, Kosei Tanaka, at Edion Arena. Tanaka was a huge favorite going into the fight, but Palangpol would prove to be Tanaka's toughest challenger so far, dropping the defending champion once in the first round and trading back-and-forth combinations for the rest of the bout. After a thrilling fight, Tanaka would finally gain the upper hand in round 9, as he knocked down Palangpol and continued to land big combinations as the challenger struggled to connect. Eventually, the referee stepped in and stopped the fight at 1:52 in round 9.[4][5][6] Tanaka was severely cut under his eyes, and was consequently sidelined after the fight.[7] After the bout, Nattadej "Boat" Wachirarattanawong, his assistant manager, said that at his age he would continue competing in both Muay Thai and professional boxing.[8]
