'''Khaosai Galaxy''' ({{langx|th|เขาทราย แกแล็คซี่}}, {{IPA|th|kʰǎwsāːj kɛ̄ːlɛ́k̚sîː|pron}}; born 15 May 1959) is a Thai former [[professional boxer]] and [[Muay Thai]] fighter who competed between 1980 and 1991. He held the [[World Boxing Association|WBA]] [[super-flyweight]] title between November 1984 and December 1991. He is listed #19 on [[The Ring (magazine)|''Ring'' Magazine]]'s list of 100 greatest punchers of all time and named him the 43rd greatest fighter of the past 80 years in 2002.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thoughtco.com/ring-magazines-best-fighters-424112|title=Are These Really the 80 Best Boxers Ever?|work=ThoughtCo|access-date=2017-12-18|archive-date=2017-10-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171014111938/https://www.thoughtco.com/ring-magazines-best-fighters-424112|url-status=dead}}</ref> As of 2022, BoxRec rates him as the best Thai boxer of all time, pound for pound.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Thai Pound For Pound ratings |url=https://boxrec.com/en/ratings?r%5Brole%5D=box-pro&r%5Bsex%5D=M&r%5Bstatus%5D=&r%5Bdivision%5D=&r%5Bcountry%5D=TH&r_go= |access-date=12 December 2022 |website=BoxRec}}</ref>

==Muay Thai career==
Khaosai Galaxy, born '''Sura Saenkham''' ({{langx|th|สุระ แสนคำ}}) in [[Phetchabun province]], [[northern Thailand]], began his fighting career as a [[Muay Thai]] fighter in the early 1980s. He fought under the [[ring name]]s '''Daoden Muangsithep''' ({{langx|th|ดาวเด่น เมืองศรีเทพ}}) and '''Khaosai Wangchomphu'''. ({{langx|th|เขาทราย วังชมภู}}). Later, he adopted the name Galaxy from a restaurant and nightclub owned by a friend of his manager.

Renowned for his devastating punching power, especially his soon-to-be-legendary left hand, Khaosai was advised by his manager and trainer to switch to the Marquess of Queensberry rules, and began training in western-style boxing.

He credited his mother as his first trainer. A passionate boxing and Muay Thai fan, she was inspired by the rise of [[Pone Kingpetch]], Thailand's first world champion, who was becoming a national hero around the time Khaosai and his twin brother [[Khaokor Galaxy]] were born. Driven by her enthusiasm, she began training her sons from a young age, waking them at 4:00&nbsp;a.m. to run before school and supporting their boxing journey in every way. Tragically, she died before witnessing Khaosai's rise to world champion.

==Boxing style==
Lacking the amateur boxing experience common to most Western professional boxers, Khaosai's skills originally were limited, and he relied on toughness and his fearsome punching power to win. His southpaw style was based on closing his opponent and firing his left hand whenever he saw an opening. His right hand was used mainly to judge the distance for his left. He also studied recorded fights of renowned world champions such as [[Muhammad Ali]], [[Sugar Ray Leonard]], and [[Marvin Hagler]], which helped him refine his skills and expand his tactical understanding in the ring.

As he gained experience, Khaosai began to develop into a more refined boxer, learning combination punching to complement his deadly left. His favorite punch, a straight left to the midsection, translates roughly as "the left hand that drills intestines". Incredibly strong, he was never out-muscled, while opponents who tried the traditional stick-and-move techniques found he had quick feet and was able to block their movements.

==Professional boxing career==
Khaosai began his international style boxing career in December 1980. He won all of his first six fights, which earned him a shot at the Thailand bantamweight (118-pound) title on 1981 against Sakda Saksuree. He lost on a points decision. It was to be the last fight he would ever lose in the ring.

Khaosai won his next three fights and claimed the Thai bantamweight title in 1982. He won 15 consecutive fights by knockout and climbed in the world rankings to become super-flyweight [[World Boxing Association|WBA]] world champion [[Jiro Watanabe]]'s [[mandatory challenger]] by the summer of 1984.

When Watanabe failed to defend his title against Khaosai, the WBA stripped him and matched Khaosai against undefeated Eusebio Espinal for the vacant championship on 1984. Khaosai knocked out Espinal in the sixth round, beginning the longest title reign in his division's history.

Khaosai defended his WBA title 19 times over the next seven years, winning 16 of his title fights by knockouts. In the mid-1980s, when world heavyweight champion [[Mike Tyson]] was in his prime and scoring knockouts over everyone, boxing fans nicknamed Khaosai ''The Thai Tyson'' for knockout wins.

Khaosai fought only once outside of Asia, when he defended his title in 1986 against unbeaten (and future WBA bantamweight titleholder) [[Israel Contreras]] in [[Curaçao]]. He had two title fights in [[Kōbe]], [[Japan]], one in [[South Korea]] and one at [[Bung Karno Stadium]], [[Indonesia]]. The rest were in Thailand, where he often fought for purses in excess of $100,000 in front of huge crowds. That, plus the fact that few top fighters anywhere were willing to challenge Khaosai, made him relatively unknown in the West.

In 1988, his twin younger brother, fighting under the name Kaokhor Galaxy, captured the [[World Boxing Association|WBA]] bantamweight title, making the Galaxy brothers (Saenkham brothers) the first twins to ever be world boxing champions.<ref name="Khao"/>

==Retirement==
He fought for the last time on December 22, 1991 in Bangkok, beating Armando Castro over 12 rounds. A few weeks later, he announced his retirement with a record of 47 wins against only one defeat, and never attempted a comeback.

==Life after boxing==
Not long after his retirement to the boxing profession, Khaosai chose to take part in the Thai entertainment industry. He first took a shot at the music industry, releasing a single, "Khob Khun Krub", meaning "Thank You", then began taking part in TV series and movies, particularly comedies. His first role as an actor occurred during the TV series ''[[Poot Mae Nam Khong]]'' (1992 version), which was then followed by ''[[Mon Rak Luk Thung]]'' (1995 version), ''[[The Legend of Suriyothai]]'' (2001), and ''[[The Bodyguard (2004 film)|The Bodyguard]]'' (2004)<ref name=แฟน/> etc. In 2005, while he was taking part in a film, he was punched in the face by a drunken fan, who wished to obtain Khaosai's shirt for collection but was denied.  The incident made frontline news, which displayed a photo of Khaosai, with a bandage on his face but smiling and standing next to the drunk man.

In 2006, he starred in a music video for a song by fellow boxers [[Somluck Kamsing]] and [[Samart Payakaroon]]. In the video, Khaosai portrayed a shy man being approached by a young woman.

After retirement, he married Yumiko Ota, a Japanese woman whom he had met during a trip to Kōbe, Japan, for his second fight with Kenji Matsumura in 1989. The couple lived together for only one year before divorcing.

He later married a woman from [[Buriram Province|Buriram]], Sureerat "Fah" Saenkham (née Niwesram). Although they had no children together, Khaosai chose to adopt his wife's nephew as his [[stepchild]].<ref>{{cite web|title=ย้อนรอยตำนานรัก(ร้าว) ยอดแชมป์โลก 'เขาทราย แกแล็คซี่' |url=https://www.thairath.co.th/content/335405|work=Thairath|date=2013-03-28|accessdate=2017-10-09|language=thai}}</ref>

In March 2013, he made headlines again when he unexpectedly married Wannapa "Nung" Kamboonsri before legally divorcing his previous wife. That same year, he became a father for the first time at the age of 54 when his wife gave birth to a daughter.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://hilight.kapook.com/view/83879|title=เขาทราย ยอมปริปาก บอกก็แค่แต่งงานเฉย ๆ เผย เตรียมแถลงข่าว|language=Thai|work=Kapook.com|date=27 March 2013 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://hilight.kapook.com/view/94440|title=เขาทราย เฮ ภรรยาคลอดลูกสาวแล้ว ตั้งชื่อ น้องไข่มุก|language=Thai|work=Kapook.com|date=6 December 2013 }}</ref> In 2016, they welcomed their second daughter at the end of the year.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.khaosod.co.th/lifestyle/news_127730|title="เขาทราย" ปลื้ม! ได้ลูกสาวคนที่ 2 "น้องโอลีฟ" เผยเรื่องน่าทึ่ง-ภรรยาสาวฝันก่อนเจ็บท้อง|language=Thai|work=Khaosod.co.th|date=4 December 2016 }}</ref>

Beyond boxing and entertainment, Khaosai has also dabbled in [[Thai politics|politic]]s. In the [[2007 Thai general election|2007 general election]], he ran as a party-list candidate for the [[Puea Pandin Party]] but was unsuccessful. Later, in the [[2011 Thai general election|2011 general election]], he ran for [[Chartthaipattana Party]] in his native Phetchabun's 2nd district, but garnered only 8,485 votes and did not win the seat.<ref name=แฟน>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw3o6gJq6C4 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/sw3o6gJq6C4| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live|title=แฟนพันธุ์แท้ 2013 3 พ.ค. 56 (เขาทราย)|date=2013-05-03|accessdate=2017-10-09|work=[[Fan Pan Tae]]|language=thai}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

==Legacy==
Khaosai's unmatched fame helped spark a tradition unique to Thailand, in which politicians or private companies organized world title boxing matches and allowed the public to attend for free. In exchange, the sponsors received publicity on televised broadcasts, had their names announced, and presented gold necklaces or other gifts to the fighters before the bouts.<ref name=แฟน/>

This tradition began with his ninth title defense at the [[Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo|Crocodile Farm, Samut Prakan]] in 1989, against [[South Korean people|South Korean]] challenger [[Chang Tae-il]].<ref name=แฟน/>

Also, it was often said that whenever Khaosai fought, traffic in Bangkok eased, because everyone hurried home to watch him on TV.<ref name=แฟน/>

He was selected to the [[International Boxing Hall of Fame]] (IBHOF) in 1999 and remains a well‑known boxer throughout Thailand. His induction came nearly a decade after his retirement, which was an exceptional honour for an Asian boxer. At the ceremony, the outpouring of admiration was remarkable: fans queued for more than three hours to receive his autograph, and the line included many female supporters who wished to show their respect.<ref name="Khao"/><ref name=แฟน/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.voicetv.co.th/read/53826|work=[[Voice TV]]|language=Thai|date=2012-10-19|accessdate=2021-08-11|title='เขาทราย' แนะสปอนเซอร์แจกเงินนักมวยแก้ปัญหาทองปลอม}}</ref>
