Lethwei career

Tun Lwin Moe has been trained by Kyaw Soe, the head coach at Nagamahn[4] (Burmese: နဂါးမာန်) and was formerly employed at the now-defunct Lethwei camp Kyaw Lin Naing.[5] He is one of the few boxers who started their careers in Lethwei without having competed before for Region-, State- or government-funded Golden Belt Championship titles. [6] Starting with a few under-card fights in Yangon in 2015, he already competed in the following year against top talents.[7] As of April 2019, he is mostly competing in foreign contests.

Surgery

In November 2018 it was announced that Tun Lwin Moe had been removed from the Lethwei in Japan 10: Nori event by ILFJ officials. The reason was an abnormality in his left eye that was discovered during a medical examination on October 28.[8] Tun Lwin Moe had a fight in Thailand on the day and the discovery sparked a minor debate on fighter safety and whether the officials in Myanmar had been negligent over his and other individual's well-being.[9] Tun Lwin Moe had eye surgery on November 14.

In October 2019 Tun Lwin Moe and his father appeared in an interview with MLC Lethwei Media. They said that Tun Lwin Moe's vision had not yet fully returned and that recovery could take up to 2 years. They would focus on the career of his younger brother Thant Zin instead.[10] In January 2020 however, he would announce that he had an upcoming fight with Yokpetch Petchkasem on short notice. Although the fight got cancelled he took a replacement fight in facing Saw Min Naing in February.
