On January 20, 2018, he fought against and lost via 8th-round KO to Lucas Matthysse from Argentina for the vacant WBA Welterweight world championship in California, United States in a fight organized by Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions.[5] During that time, he trained with former WBC champion Sirimongkol Singwangcha and Olympic medalist Suriya Prasathinphimai.

Super welterweight and Light heavyweight

Following his unsuccessful bid for the world title, Teerachai moved up to super welterweight and returned to fighting regularly in Thailand.

He eventually moved back to super welterweight and defeated Mohammed Zamani to reclaim the WBA Asia super welterweight championship on July 2, 2022.
