Mokhon Ruekha (Thai: มอคล ฤาขา; December 13, 1962 – November 14, 2023), known professionally as Yoknoi Fairtex (Thai: หยกน้อย แฟร์เท็กซ์), was a Thai professional Muay Thai fighter. He was a two-time Lumpinee Stadium Featherweight Champion who fought during the 1980s.
Biography and career
Yoknoi started training in Muay Thai with his older brother, Katanyu Kiatsompop, following him to Bangkok to join the Kiatsompop camp. As he weighed only 38 kg he had to fight at Rangsit Stadium three times, winning all three before making his Bangkok debut in 1979 at the Lumpinee Stadium under the name Yoknoi Kiatsompop. A year later, he joined the Fairtex Gym also in Bangkok.[1]
Training alongside fighters such as Jongsanan Fairtex, Yoknoi became a popular fighter under the Onesongchai promotion in the early 1980s.[2] He captured the Lumpinee Stadium Featherweight title in 1985 and defended it once before losing it. He regained the title in 1986.[3]
He fought during the Golden Era of Muay Thai against many notable fighters including Samransak Muangsurin[4], Chanchai Sor.Tamarangsri[5], Jomwo Chernyim[6], Sanit Wichitkriengkrai[7], Bandon Sitbangprachan, Saengsakda Kittikasem, Palannoi Kiatanan, and Sornsilp Sitnoenpayom.
After retiring in 1990, Yoknoi became a trainer at the Fairtex Gym and opened a store next to the gym.[8]
