Petchfogus Sitthaharnaek winces in pain from the massage he receives before his fight at the Thapae Muay Thai Stadium in Chiang Mai on Jan 24, 2014. The nine-year-old is the top fighter for his age and weight. Children in Thailand can earn money through competitive boxing. Usually one can get 1000 baht ($30) for winning a match. It has become a means of income for those who live in poverty. [Photo/IC]
