Nawaphon Kaikanha (; born 2 September 1991), also known as Nawaphon Nakornloung and Nawaphon Sor Rungvisai (นวพล นครหลวงโปรโมชั่น, นวพล ศ.รุ่งวิสัย), formerly Nawaphon Por Chokchai (นวพล ป.โชคชัย), is a Thai professional boxer who challenged for the WBC flyweight title in 2017.

Early life and Boxing career Nawaphon was born into a family of boxers. His elder brother, Suriyan Sor Rungvisai, was the WBC super flyweight world champion from 2011 to 2012. Nawaphon began his boxing career in Muay Thai, supported by his father, while he was in his second year of school.

He made his professional boxing debut in late 2010 at Sisaket Rajabhat University, Sisaket Province, where he defeated fellow Thai boxer Palangpol Chaiyonggym. In 2011, he won the ABCO (WBC Asia) flyweight title, achieving an early career record of 36 wins.

On March 4, 2017, Nawaphon challenged Mexican contender Juan "Churritos" Hernández for the vacant WBC flyweight title at Nimibutr Stadium, part of the National Stadium complex in Bangkok. He entered the bout as the WBC's #1 ranked contender in the division.

This match was notable for being the first professional boxing event in Thailand in nearly 30 years to be held under world-class conditions. Unlike the typical local events—often conducted outdoors on temporary rings in the afternoon with free admission and sponsorship from companies or politicians—this fight featured ticket sales, was hosted in an indoor air-conditioned arena, and took place during Saturday night prime time. The event was co-promoted by BEC-TERO Entertainment and Nakornloung Promotion. Despite the fanfare, Nawaphon was defeated by TKO in the third round when the referee stopped the fight.

On April 21, 2018, He returned to the ring and secured a TKO victory in the fifth round over fellow Thai boxer Amnat Ruenroeng, a former IBF flyweight world champion. The fight was held at Workpoint Studio in Pathum Thani Province.
