A young career with unusually varied assignments

Koramak Chanreach has accumulated the sort of competitive variety that makes a young boxer interesting beyond the usual language of promise. His selected record includes a tournament final defeat, a later victory over the same opponent, regional and Intercontinental titles, a Japanese kickboxing assignment and a stoppage win in the Netherlands. Those are different tests, and reading them together produces a richer picture than describing him as an undefeated prospect or a finished champion.

An independent Cambodian profile identifies him as Pheng Sopanha, born in Phnom Penh in 2007. Koramak Chanreach is the sporting name most useful for following his results; Kurmak Chanreach and Koramak Chanrach also appear in international reporting. These variants should connect to one athlete. They are not separate careers to be added together, particularly when an international event uses a different transliteration from Cambodian television.

Development through repeated competition

The profile associates his development with Hun Chanreach, while giving more than one club name across its historical narrative and current table. The present dossier therefore retains the coaching connection but does not impose a single definitive current gym. His reported orthodox stance and 170 cm height offer some background, yet neither measurement explains the outcomes by itself. The stronger evidence comes from named contests and the variety of situations they created.

On 17 February 2024, he lost a Madrid marathon final to Phal Silong by decision. Later that year, their paths crossed again in a Cambodian tournament. Chanreach stopped Silong in the second round of the semifinal on 15 November. That reversal is significant because it prevents a static reading of rivalry: an earlier defeat did not dictate the later encounter. It does not establish what training change caused the result, but it demonstrates that their competitive relationship evolved.

Winning a semifinal is not winning a tournament

The same evening supplied a further lesson. Chanreach lost the final to Khorn Somaly by third-round knockout. A one-night tournament asks an athlete to solve more than one opponent, and the outcome of the first contest cannot simply be projected onto the second. The record captures both sides of his evening: a successful return against Silong and a final defeat. This is more informative than preserving only the spectacular semifinal finish.

A title sequence at 57 kilograms

Reporting on the 20 July 2025 Krud event identifies Chanreach as the winner of the ISKA Southeast Asia tournament at 57 kg. The individual opponents are not specified in that report, so the title belongs in his achievements without invented semifinal or final rows. On 31 January 2026, a more detailed ISKA account records his unanimous decision over Gabriel Da Silva at Bati Park for the Intercontinental title at the same weight.

The distinction in title level matters. Southeast Asia and Intercontinental are specific championship designations, not interchangeable synonyms for a world crown. Preserving those names makes the progression meaningful. A tournament achievement established one milestone; defeating a named Brazilian opponent for the Intercontinental championship established another. The progression can be described clearly without inflating the sanctioning body’s terminology.

During the Cambodian New Year event held on 14–15 April 2026 in Stung Treng, Chanreach also defeated Den Nong Bua by unanimous decision in a Southeast Asia title defence. ISKA praised his composure and consistency in that contest. Those qualities can be attributed to the reported performance. They should not become a claim that he is always defensively flawless or that every previous victory followed the same tactical pattern.

Japan and the Netherlands broaden the test

On 5 September 2026, Chanreach faced Leona Pettas at KNOCK OUT 68 in Yokohama. The official event record gives Pettas the decision in a 61 kg BLACK-rules contest. This was a different rules assignment from the 57 kg Kun Khmer championship sequence. It also came at a different contracted weight. Combining every result into one undifferentiated category would hide those practical differences.

On 1 November, the specialist Muay Thai Records ledger records Chanreach stopping Rachid Babiker in round three at Fight Events: Netherlands versus Cambodia, at 61.5 kg under Kun Khmer rules. The result adds another international setting and a different outcome. It supports a description of expanding experience, not a declaration that one victory settled every question raised by the Japanese loss.

Verified bouts and their distinct settings

The April entry is limited to the month because the source covers a two-day event without assigning his bout to one exact day. The table also keeps kickboxing separate from Kun Khmer. These distinctions are useful to readers comparing opponents, title pathways and international experience, rather than administrative details that can be discarded once a winner is known.

How to assess his continuing development

Look for decisions that survive a change of opponent

Chanreach’s next stage can be assessed through the quality of his choices as much as the final result. How does he establish distance against a taller opponent? How does he respond when a first attack is blocked? Can he retain balance while changing pace? These are viewing questions for future footage, not an invented technical diagnosis of the bouts listed here. His varied record makes them especially relevant.

• Compare like with like: weight, rules and tournament format affect the sporting task.
• Keep both the semifinal victory and final loss when describing the November 2024 marathon.
• Use the exact regional or Intercontinental title designation attached to each achievement.

His importance lies in a visible progression through challenging assignments while still belonging to a young Cambodian generation. The story remains open, shaped by opponents rather than by promotional certainty. Follow the event calendar and the broader fighter directory to assess his next appearance in its proper sporting context.
