## Biography and career

Originating from the Battambang Province of Cambodia, Rumchong first began learning Kun Khmer at the age of five. In Cambodia, he became a multiple-time Bayon TV Kun Khmer champion.
Regarded as a legend in his home country, Rumchong has fought overseas on multiple occasions.
In July 2009, he outpointed Vung Noy. He used an overhand right in the second round to score a knockdown against Vung Noy. That helped him earn a decision victory at the CTN boxing arena. They fought again in December 2009 where Keo Rumchong had a close decision victory over Vung Noy at Bayon TV arena.
In 2010, the 22 year old pressure fighter beat Lao Sinath, a two division title holder, in the second round at TV3 boxing arena. On December 12, 2010, Long Sophy defeated Keo Rumchong at the TV3 boxing area to win a light-welterweight four-man tournament.
He has appeared on the Thai promotion Thai Fight, where he has competed under their signature Kard Chuek ruleset. While there, he has faced fighters like Yodsanklai Fairtex and Iquezang Kor.Rungthanakeat.
On October 24, 2015, Keo Rumchong lost in controversial fashion to Iquezang Kor.Rungthanakeat at THAI FIGHT: 1st Round in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This would be the first of three fights the two would engage in.
After defeating Maung Jor of Myanmar at THAI FIGHT: 2nd Round on November 21, 2015, Rumchong set himself up for a rematch with Iquezang. In their second fight, the Cambodian was able to secure the decision victory at THAI FIGHT Count Down on December 31, 2015.
Keo Rumchong next faced the Ukrainian Sasha Moisa in the 2018 Thai Fight Kard Chuek 70kg King's Cup Tournament semi-final at THAI FIGHT Saraburi on November 24, 2018. Being the shorter fighter by 14 centimeters, Rumchong was overwhelmed by Moisa's heavy hands and was knocked down three times en route to a second-round technical knockout.
On November 24, 2019, Rumchong faced French Kun Khmer fighter Omar Samb, a student of Albert Veera Chey, for the MTGP Super Welterweight -75kg Championship at Muay Thai Grand Prix 31 Bataclan in Paris. He lost by fourth-round technical knockout.
