Professional career

Park began his professional career in 1980. On May 24, 1987, after amassing a career record of 24–3–2 with 7 knockouts, Chan-yong was given the opportunity to challenge reigning bantamweight champion, Takuya Muguruma, for his WBA version of the world championship Mugurma's hometown of Moriguchi, Osaka, Japan. Park defeated Muguruma in the 11th round of 15 via technical knockout. [1] [2] Five months after he won the title, in his first title defense, he subsequently lost his championship on October 3, to Wilfredo Vázquez by technical knockout in the 10th round of 15. [3] [4]

After the defeat to Vázquez, Chan-yong moved up to the super-bantamweight division where after a four fight win streak, on December 3, 1989, he got another chance for a world title when he faced reigning WBC super-bantamweight champion of Mexico, Daniel Zaragoza for his championship in Incheon, South Korea. In his last chance to become a world champion again, Park put forth a great effort, losing the fight via split decision. [5] [6] [7]

Chan-yong retired in 1992, after a string of knockout victories against lesser known fighters, ending his career with a record of 33–5–2 with 16 knockouts.

Boxing in the 1980s was filled with important fights, events and personalities that shaped the sport. Boxing in the 1980s was shaped by many different situations, such as the continuous corporate battles between the different world sanctioning organizations, the void left by Muhammad Ali as the sport's ambassador and consequent search for a new boxing hero, the continuous presence of Don King as the sport's most famous promoter, the surge of rival promoters as Bob Arum, Butch Lewis and Murad Muhammad, and major rule changes. In 1986, Mike Tyson emerged as a fresh new face in the heavyweight division, which had seen a decline in champion quality level after Ali's retirement and, later on, after longtime WBC ruler Larry Holmes' prime. In addition, the IBF and WBO began operating.
