Lethwei career

edit

Tun Lwin Moe has been trained by Kyaw Soe, the head coach at Nagamahn and father of Lethwei Champion Too Too.[4] (Burmese: နဂါးမာန်) and was formerly employed at the now-defunct Lethwei camp Kyaw Lin Naing.[5] He is one of the few boxers who started their careers in Lethwei without having competed before for Region-, State- or government-funded Golden Belt Championship titles.[6] Starting with a few under-card fights in Yangon in 2015, he already competed in the following year against top talents.[7]

Eye problem

edit

In November 2018, it was announced that Tun Lwin Moe had been removed from the Lethwei in Japan 10: Nori event by ILFJ officials. The reason was an abnormality in his left eye that was discovered during a medical examination on October 28.[8] Tun Lwin Moe had a fight in Thailand on the day and the discovery sparked a minor debate on fighter safety and whether the officials in Myanmar had been negligent over his and other individual's well-being.[9] Tun Lwin Moe had eye surgery on November 14.

In October 2019, Tun Lwin Moe and his father said in an interview that Tun Lwin Moe's vision had not yet fully returned and that the recovery could take up to 2 years. In the meantime, they would focus on the career of his younger brother Thant Zin instead.[10]

In January 2020, Tun Lwin Moe announced an upcoming fight with Yokpetch Petchkasem on short notice which got cancelled. He took a replacement fight in facing Saw Min Naing in February. He has since retired from competition due to lasting eye damage.

Outside the ring

edit

In 2022, Tun Lwin Moe opened a Lethwei gym called Tawwinirra in the Irrawaddy Division, Bogale where he trains aspiring Lethwei fighters.[11]
