The twins' professional ring name, "Chana-Songkram," meaning "winning the war," comes from their supporter Prachuap Pao-in, who at that time was an investigative inspector at the Chana Songkram Metropolitan Police Station, located in the Bang Lamphu near Khaosan Road.

Professional career

Chana's real name is Koon Motma (คูณ หมดมา; personal nickname: Thid; ถิด). He started boxing through Muay Thai under the name "Lomnuea Sakchainarong," (ลมเหนือ ศักดิ์ชัยณรงค์) regularly fighting at Rajadamnern Stadium and winning the mini-flyweight championship in 1988.

He turned professional in May 1988 under Niwat "Chae-mae" Laosuwanwat of Galaxy Boxing Promotion and captured the World Boxing Association (WBA) minimumweight title with a majority decision win over Hideyuki Ohashi in early 1993 at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, Tokyo, Japan. He defended the title against eight fighters before losing it to Rosendo Álvarez in late 1995 by split decision at Sa Kaeo province, Thailand.

He recaptured the belt in 2001 with a win over Keitaro Hoshino, but lost it in his first defense to Yutaka Niida.

In 2004, he challenged twice for the WBA interim minimumweight title against Juan Jose Landaeta but was unsuccessful, including one draw.

Retirement

He retired along with his brother Songkram. After retirement, he opened a rice shop in Bang Yai district, Nonthaburi province.^[1]

Chana is currently the owner of a Muay Thai gym named Chaosingkhon (จ้าวสิงห์ขร) in Pho Thale district, Phichit province. After many careers, he has trained many local youths to become professional Muay Thai kickboxers, helping them give up their mischievous teenage behavior.^[2]
