Perspective
Anantasak Panyuthapum born as Suttisak Samaksaman (สุทธิศักดิ์ สมัครสมาน) in Mueang Surin District (later separated into Tambon Prasat Thong and Khwao Sinarin District), Surin Province, lower northeastern Thailand. He started Muay Thai at the age of 9 in his native province of Surin. He later joined the Panyuthapum gym in Samut Prakan where he received his ring name.
At the peak of his career Panyuthapum had a 180,000 baht purse and was considering one of the most dangerous elbow fighter. Nicknamed the "Flying Axe Elbow" a lot of his opponents finished fights with a bloody face.
In amateur boxing he participated for the first time in the Thailand Championships in Nakhon Sawan at Lightweight (-60 kg) class. In the final, he lost to Somchai Nakbalee, since this experience, he has been competing in the Featherweight (-57 kg) division. He continued to fight until he was selected for the national team, but he was only the substitute for the first Thai Summer Olympics gold medalist Somluck Kamsing. Although being known as a heavy puncher, he had fought with Kamsing twice, losing both due to the agility of Kamsing.
After his fighting career Panyuthapum became a boxing instructor in the Royal Thai Army (RTA).[3]
