THERE is no keeping Kamen Picken out of the ring in Thailand.

The 17-year-old Muay Thai kickboxer moved his professional rules record on to 17 wins from 19 contests when he took a late-notice fight against Thai Ramba Sor Siri.

Former Lymm High School pupil Picken won courtesy of technical knockout in the third round at Bangla Stadium.

He defeated Panlert Tor Sangtiennoi with a fourth-round knockout at Rangsit Stadium in Bangkok a week earlier.

Picken spent much of 2010 training and fighting in Thailand and returned to gain experience.
