In his first five fights, Nattawut tallied four victories with two incredible knockout wins over Yohann Drai and Sasha Moisa.

Jo Nattawut brings the fight to featherweight Muay Thai king Tawanchai
Jo Nattawut ran into a string of bad luck in his previous bouts, but that doesn’t mean he was on the receiving end of disappointing losses. Whenever he stepped between the ropes, Nattawut ensured he was putting on a show.
His last outing saw him take the fight to ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai in a non-title kickboxing bout at ONE Fight Night 15.
Tawanchai and Nattawut exchanged some of the heaviest strikes seen inside Lumpinee Boxing Stadium and had the capacity crowd singing to every swing they made.
In the end, though, it was Tawanchai’s night as he took a close decision win over Nattawut.
