Biography and career
Singwangcha then put together another impressive winning streak and won the vacant WBC super featherweight title when he defeated Kengo Nagashima on August 24, 2002 by knockout in round 2. He held the title for one year before he lost to Jesús Chávez.[1]
In 2009, he was arrested for possession of Ya ba (tablets of methamphetamine and caffeine popular in Thailand). Once incarcerated in prisons, he was responsible for teaching boxing to another prisoner. During this time he was still boxing, and won the WBC welterweight asia intercontinental. After coming out of prison, he continued to receive support from family and manager to be a world champion again.[2]
