He changed to boxing when a promoter needed a short-term replacement on one of his cards. In professional boxing, he had three managers were Kitti Akkraseranee, Song Karnchanachoosak and Songchai Rattanasuban.
Professional boxing career
The relentless pressure fighter Kittikasem started to fight professionally in 1988. In only his 7th bout 1989 he won the IBF junior-flyweight title on points against Filipino Tacy Macalos and defended it against the same fighter by KO. After two defenses, he went to the United States to defend the crown against undefeated amateur star Michael Carbajal in 1990. In the bout, he was knocked down four times by the American and injured his chin during the 7th round. His chin became his major weakness since then.
He went up in weight and won the WBC and lineal flyweight title by KO in a 6-round fight against his countryman Sot Chitalada the very next year.[1] Kittikasem KOd Jung Koo Chang and stopped Chitalada once again in the rematch.
He lost another title to another amateur world champion, Russian Yuri Arbachakov, in 1992. The fight took place in Japan, and ended in an explosive KO when Kittikasem ran right in a counter. In 1993, he was KO'd one more time by Arbachakov, this time in Thailand.
He had a couple more fights but never contended again.
