Early years
editZaza Sor. Aree was born on October 2, 1993 in Saraburi Thailand. She played a lot of sports when she was a kid. While her favorite sport was actually horse riding, her father taught her Muaythai. After three months of training, he sent her to a fight at a temple fair in Saraburi. Zaza won her first match, and started her career as a Muaythai fighter at only thirteen years old.[3]
Career
editRise in Muay Thai
editZaza kept on winning her matches and her reputation as an up-and-coming fighter spread in the Muaythai community. She won the vacant WPMF women's World Flyweight title aged 15 and became the first Thai female to become world muaythai champion. Originally scheduled to fight Canadian Vernica Tiger for the championship on December 4, 2008, Sor Aree defeated Greek Farni Kiatchionson by points decision.[4] On August 12, 2009, Sor Aree defeated fellow countrywoman Farsai Nongkipahuyuth by decision, retaining her title.[5]
In her first fight overseas, Zaza defended her WPMF women's World Flyweight championship again on November 8, 2009 in Japan, when she defeated Gracyer Aki by unanimous decision after five rounds. At the end of 2009 she took part in the IFMA Amateur Muaythai World Championships in Bangkok, Thailand. She won the silver medal in the Flyweight category. On January 16, 2010, Sor Aree won her bout by decision against Ploy Suay Sukroong Ruang at Thailand vs Challenger Series.
Zaza was scheduled to defend her WPMF title against Slovak Lucia Krajcovicova on August 12, 2011 at Thailand vs Challenger: Queen's Birthday 2011 but, for unknown reasons, her opponent was changed to English Iman Barlow (also known as Aman Jitti Gym) a few hours before the date, leading ultimately to the cancellation of the bout due to Iman Barlow not meeting the required.[6]
Mixed fortunes in Shootboxing
editSor Aree also took part in Shootboxing, but with less success. She participated in the tournament Shoot boxing Girl's S-cup 2010 on August 29, 2010, but was defeated in the first round of the tournament by American purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Kate Martinez. Sor Aree managed to land some good shots but Kate was obviously the harder hitter and towards the end of the match, Sor Aree appeared to be exhausted and in a daze. Kate took advantage of this and trapped her in a standing arm-triangle choke in the third round. Sor Aree’s eyes rolled back into her head and the referee called for the bell as Kate put Sor Aree to sleep.
On August 19, 2011, Sor. Aree competed in Shootboxing for the third time against Shootboxing star Rena Kubota. Rena won the match in the second round when Rena landed a powerful body punch that floored Sor Aree, who was unable to get back up.
Short stint in boxing
editIn April 2008, Sor. Aree announced that she would try professional boxing. She made her debut on September 5, 2008, against Namfon Por Muangpetch. She won her bout by decision. However, one month later she was defeated by her fellow countrywoman Yani Kokietgym. After her loss Sor. Aree choose not to pursue a full-time boxing career.[7]
Comeback in 2015
editAfter having stopped with professional Muay Thai while pursuing a University degree ZaZa Sor Aree started a comeback in April 2015 (won) and, as the time of writing, is looking to come back full-time while also pursuing further TV and Muay Thai teaching commitments.[8]
