Nong Natt is back in the gym. The porn star turned Muay Thai fighter appears to still be training hard despite seeing her most recent fight fall through for reasons which remain unclear.
Nong Natt, whose real name is Kesarin Chaichalermpol, was booked to face vigilante and social media influencer Petchploy Kwathonsung last month. Headlines were made when both names appeared on the official fight card for the Sor Sommai show in Songkhla province.
The event on May 12th did go ahead with Kongklai AnnyMuayThai beating Thaksinlek DNMuayThaiGym in the headliner. But Nong Natt was notable by her absence:
Disastrous debut
Earlier this year Nong Natt announced that she was fitter than Tawanchai PKSaenchaigym, a claim that the Thai fighter did not dispute. He has also been praised by Lil Rae Black and appears to have a few female fans working in the pornographic industry.
Her Muay Thai debut last year was so underwhelming that she appears to have erased all the videos of it. In the buildup Nong Natt asked people to take her seriously as a fighter and claimed to have been training since a young age.
But the fight was a debacle with both wearing head gear and shin pads with a break of nearly five minutes between the two 90 second rounds. If Nong Natt was looking to convince people that she is serious about her Muay Thai career this probably wasn’t the best way to go about it.
Fun spectacle
But no harm was done with both the fighters emerging completely unscathed. The audience seemed to enjoy the spectacle immensely and it attracted a lot of viewers to a relatively obscure event in Bangkok.
The Sor Sommai show would have had a much bigger live audience. Nong Natt was scheduled to face an opponent who made headlines news in Thailand after beating up a creepy man who made unwanted advances.
Unlike Nong Natt she does have prior experience of Muay Thai so this would potentially have been a much more difficult fight, although we never discovered exactly what the rules will be. The porn star turned fighter might not be making her return to the ring in the immediate future but at least she is back in the gym.
