Floyd Mayweather no longer holds the record for the most victories without defeat in retirement after Wanheng Menayothin declared his boxing career over.
At 50-0, Mayweather was sitting pretty with his gloves hung up until Menayothin decided to end his stint with Golden Boy Promotions early. Menayothin, the long-time WBC minimumweight champion, signed a deal with Oscar De La Hoya last year.
It was hoped he would finally fight outside his native Thailand in order to fully prove his credentials. At the time, Wanheng, real name Chayaphon Moonsri, was looking forward to the challenge. “I am delighted that Golden Boy gives me the opportunity for my name to expand in other countries,” said Menayothin last year. “I felt excited when I learned that I would fight outside my country. It will be the first time that I will fight in another country. “Not only will I prove myself but I will make the world know me and recognize me as the best champion in my division. “
This sadly won’t come to pass unless Menayothin has a change of heart once the coronavirus lockdown fully subsides. The 34-year-old leaves the sport on 54-0, four wins ahead of Mayweather, who retired officially from boxing in 2017.
