Too Too (6 October 1990 – 26 April 2023; ) was a Burmese Lethwei athlete who competed within the World Lethwei Championship. He held the title of WLC Middleweight World Champion and maintained an undefeated record under traditional Lethwei regulations. From 2015 until his passing in 2023, he was the bearer of the 75 kg Lethwei Golden Belt. Additionally, he took part in a Lethwei superfight at Kunlun Fight 25 in Slovakia. Too Too passed away while detained by the Burmese military, known as the Tatmadaw, on April 26, 2023.

Career

In 2013, Too Too represented Myanmar at the 2013 Southeast Asian Games and the 2013 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games held in Incheon, South Korea, earning gold and bronze medals respectively.

On 12 May 2013, he secured a third-round knockout victory over former Golden Belt holder Win Tun at Thuwunna Stadium. Later, on 27 November 2016, Too Too defeated Mateo Celi, a Peruvian Muay Thai competitor, by KO at Thein Pyu Stadium.

On 6 January 2017 in Mandalay, he faced world-ranked Muay Thai fighter Chanajon P.K. Saenchai, with the bout concluding in a draw. In 2015, Too Too took part in a Lethwei superfight during Kunlun Fight 25 in Slovakia—the first Lethwei event held in Europe. Competing against Igor Danis at 75 kg, the match ended as a draw under traditional rules.

In July 2015, during the Monsoon Fighter event at Thein Pyu Stadium, he battled American Muay Thai athlete Cyrus Washington, preserving his unbeaten status after seven rounds resulted in a draw. August 2016 saw him compete against Quebec’s Dave Leduc at the 1st Myanmar Lethwei World Championship. Although Leduc dominated much of the contest, it concluded as a draw due to traditional knockout-only regulations.

On 27 October 2016, Too Too faced Soe Lin Oo during the inaugural event of the ILFJ held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. After five rounds without a knockout, the fight was declared a draw.

In 2017, Too Too entered into an exclusive agreement with the World Lethwei Championship. Despite both being highly ranked fighters within WLC, he and fellow champion Tun Tun Min chose not to compete against each other because of their long-standing friendship. Their previous encounter in 2014 under Muay Thai rules resulted in Tuhtaboyev winning by split decision. Subsequently, Too Too claimed the WLC Middleweight World Champion title in 2018 while Tuhtaboyev concentrated on his Muay Thai career.

As the reigning WLC Middleweight champion, Too Too accepted a rematch challenge from Naimjon Tuhtaboyev. On 31 January 2020 at Thein Pyu Stadium, during WLC 11: Battlebones—which was broadcast live via UFC Fight Pass—both athletes aimed for a knockout finish. Despite effective use of leg kicks and headbutts by Too Too, judges awarded Tuhtaboyev a narrow split decision victory.

Anti-coup protest, arrest and death

On 11 April 2022, Too Too was detained at his residence in Minbu Township, Magway Region, Myanmar. Authorities arrested him for involvement in protests opposing the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état and for allegedly possessing weapons and explosives. Since February 2021, he had been actively participating in anti-coup demonstrations throughout Myanmar.

In April 2023, unverified reports suggested that Too Too was shot and killed while attempting to flee custody; however, official confirmation was lacking due to insufficient evidence. On 13 July 2023, several Burmese news organizations reported his death after friends shared on social media that his family had been notified. It is believed that he died while imprisoned on April 26, 2023, potentially as a result of torture inflicted by the military junta.
