Biography and boxing career
Pichit is a younger brother of Pichit Sitbangprachan, a Thai boxing who won IBF flyweight world champion in the early 90s. Both are boxers under Songchai Ratanasuban of Songchai Boxing Promotion. He first boxed the name "Pichitnoi Sitbangprachan" (the word "Noi" (น้อย) means little or junior in Thai language) and got the chance to challenged WBA junior flyweight title with Leo Gámez, the Venezuelan world champion at Ramkhamhaeng University on October 9, 1994, the result was that he was TKO in the sixth round due to his limited experience.

The fight was held on March 1, 1998 at Ratchawong Pier, Yaowarat, which falls on Chinese New Year. Later in the early 2000, he was stripped because he did not fight too long.
