Wichit Somboon Thai: วิชิต สมบูรณ์; August 19, 1965 – August 31, 2016), known professionally as Nokweed Devy (Thai: นกหวีด เดวี่), was a Thai Muay Thai fighter and trainer. He was a three-weight Rajadamnern Stadium champion who was famous in the 1980s and 1990s. Nicknamed the "Heart Breaking Kicker", he is often regarded as one of the most powerful kickers in the history of Muay Thai.
Nokweed (nicknamed Chit; ชิต) was born in a poor family in Amphoe Lang Suan, Chumphon province, but raised in Amphoe Sichon, Nakhon Si Thammarat province in south Thailand. Nokweed started Muay Thai at the age of 7 and his other two brothers are Muay Thai kickboxers, Santos Devy and Paidang Lersak Gym, all of whom are champions of the Rajadamnern Stadium.
He fought during the Golden Era of Muay Thai against many notable fighters including Sagat Petchyindee, Samingnoom Sitboontam, Praedam Lukphrabath, Wanpadej Phukrongfah, Sangtiennoi Sor Rungroj, Mungkorndum Sitchang, and Issara Sakgreerin. He was a three-weight Rajadamnern Stadium champion and a WMC champion.
Nokweed was a heavy kick fighter, he was named the heaviest kick fighter in that era. In addition, he is also the primary Thai fighter who faced foreign fighters in K-1 matches, such as Jayson Vemoa, Jérôme Le Banner, Dany Bill, Faisal Zakaria, Stéphane Nikiéma, Paul Slowinski (later became his student) and Jeff Ortzow etc.[1] His ring name "Nokweed" means "whistle" because when he kicks it makes a whistling sound.
When he fought Jérôme Le Banner he weighed 72 kg while Jérôme weighed 107 kg, a 35 kg difference.[2]
After retirement, he became a trainer and had a Muay Thai gym with his fellow southern fighter, Lakhin Vasansit at Ko Samui, Surat Thani province.Paidang and Nokkweed's gym was taken over by Punch it Switzerland 10 months after his death and has been run as Punch it Muaythai Gym since July 2017.
He died suddenly while training Muay Thai in the evening of August 31, 2016 at his gym, aged 51.[3]
