Yodsanklai Fairtex a.k.a. Yod (Thai: ยอดแสนไกล แฟร์เท็กซ์; born, July 1, 1985) is a Thai Thaiboxer and the former super welterweight WBC Muay Thai World champion at 154 lb and former three time Lumpinee Stadium champion in the 112 and 147 lb weight classes. He trains out of Fairtex Gym in Pattaya, Thailand and is the first champion of The Contender Asia.
He was nicknamed "The Boxing Computer" by Thai sports newspapers as a testament to his perfect fighting technique.
Yodthanong Photirat was born in the Nong Bua Lamphu Province in Northeastern Thailand, the hotbed of Muay thai. He was introduced to the sport by his older brother Yodkangwan and started practicing Muay thai after watching his brothers' fights when he was eight years old. He had his first fight at a temple fair in Ban Na Dee, his hometown, and received a fight fee of 20 ฿.
Before joining Fairtex in 2005, Yodsanklai fought for three camps - Saknipaporn, Sit-Khru-Od and Petchyindee. On August 2005, fighting under the name of Yodsanklai Petchyindee (ยอดแสนไกล เพชรยินดี), Yodsanklai won one of the most prestigious Muay Thai titles, the Lumpinee Stadium belt, by knocking out Runglaew. He became the 154 pound WBC Muay Thai World Champion by defeating Australian John Wayne Parr on December 10, 2005 in Gold Coast, Australia. In 2005 he won as well the Champion of Thailand (154 lb) title.
