    Meet Wanheng Menayothin, the new boxing sensation

    Thailand's professional boxer, Wanheng Menayothin is on the brink of chasing down celebrated Floyd Mayweather's undefeated 50 career wins. The 32-year-old boxer, known as the 'Dwarf Giant,' has 49 successive wins to his name. Wanheng has won 17 knockout bouts in the 49 matches he has played. The Thai sensation holds the WBC mini-flyweight title since 2014 and has made a name for himself.

    The 'Mayweather' chase

    Wanheng needs to overcome Panama's Leroy Estrada in April or May to reach Mayweather's record. The tie is stated to be a low-key affair, but boxers and fans will be following Wanheng to script a fairytale feat. In 2017, Mayweather came back from retirement for a single match to fight Conor McGregor and earn his 50th win in a row.

    A look at Mayweather and Wanheng

    Mayweather is one of the most lucrative 'pay-per-views' sportsperson of all time. Nicknamed as 'Money', Mayweather has already retired. Wanheng isn't wealthy nor has the height of Mayweather, but can eclipse his record set. However, Wanheng's bout isn't going to attract the global audience.
