Biography

Phyan Thwei is named among the 'famous Karen Lethwei fighters,' alongside Thway Thit Win Hlaing, Saw Ba Oo, Yan Naing Aung and Naw Umma Soe, in a 2019 Karen Information Center article. A March 2017 Myanmar Times headline previewed a matchup between him and Soe Lin Oo, and an August 2017 Mirror Daily headline credited him, Tun Lwin Moe, and Ye Thway Ni with knockout wins over Mon-Thai Lethwei champions at a multi-national event; neither headline gives further detail on the results.


Reading this record

No systematic bout record survives for Phyan Thwei. Myanmar kept no central sanctioning archive for sandpit-era Lethwei and festival cards were often undocumented, so this profile rests on the historical account rather than a verifiable win-loss line. Treat the absence of numbers as missing paperwork, not a short career.
