Sinsamut shares thoughts on sparring with Tyson Fury after chance encounter with boxing great

ONE Championship Muay Thai star and former ONE world title challenger 'Aquaman' Sinsamut Klinmee of Thailand got to meet an idol of his when a legend of boxing came walking through the doors of the gym where he trains.

Former heavyweight boxing king Tyson Fury was in town in Bangkok, looking to take Muay Thai lessons, and that's when Sinsamut ran into the decorated English champion.

Sinsamut detailed the chance meeting in a recent interview with ONE Championship:

​

"I accidentally met Tyson Fury when I went to learn karate. As for Tyson, he came to learn Muay Thai. He’s very friendly, funny, and easygoing. That day, we had a little sparring. His punches were really hard."

Not only did Sinsamut get to shake hands with Fury, but he also got to step in the ring with him to test out his power. Needless to say, Sinsamut was absolutely blown away by the explosiveness of Fury's fists.

Check out a few photos of the sparring session that Sinsamut posted on his official Instagram account:

"Must learn from the best people as much as possible 🥊🙏🏻"

Looks like the two had fun. More importantly, it's the exchange of knowledge that is the most valuable.
