Kongnapa Weerasakreck is a Thai Muay Thai fighter and kickboxer. He is the former K-1 Lightweight champion and former Krush Lightweight champion.

After having over a hundred fights in Thailand, Gonnapar moved to Japan in 2010.

Kickboxing career
Kongnapa made his kickboxing debut against Hideaki Yamazaki in September 2016, a fight which he won by unanimous decision. Before that, he fought in muay thai, winning the WMPF World Super Lightweight title and successfully defending it twice.

Kongnapa participated in the 2017 K-1 Lightweight Grand Prix. In the quarterfinals, he won a unanimous decision against Koya Urabe, but lost the semifinal bout against Ren Hiramoto by a first round knockout.

In June 2017, Gonnapar fought Wei Rui for the K-1 Lightweight title. Rui won the fight by majority decision.

Kongnapa rebounded from this loss with a three fight winning streak, defeating Pan Ryunson by unanimous decision, Kenta Hayashi by a first round knockout and Katsuki Ishida by a second round knockout. This streak earned him the chance to fight Daizo Sasaki for the Krush Lightweight title at Krush 87. Gonnapar won the fight by unanimous decision. He defended the title thrice, winning a unanimous decision against Fumiya Osawa at Krush 93, Takumi Yokoyama by majority decision at Krush 110, and Yuto Shinohara by unanimous decision at Krush 113. On March 1, 2021, Gonnapar vacated his Krush title in order to focus on his K-1 title.

K-1 Lightweight Champion
At K-1 World GP 2020 Winter's Crucial Bout, Gonnapar fought Kenta Hayashi for the K-1 Lightweight title. He won the fight by majority decision.

Kongnapa faced Daiki Nagumo at K-1 World GP 2021: K’Festa 4 Day.2 on March 28, 2021 in a non-title bout. He won the fight via second-round knockout.

In his first title defense, Gonnapar is expected to face Taio Asahisa at K-1 World Grand Prix 2021. He lost the fight by an extra round split decision.
