Thoeun Theara (Khmer: ធឿន ធារ៉ា), (born 1 January 1998) is a Kun Khmer kickboxer, originally from Prey Veng Province. He is nicknamed "Puthao Day Pi Kheat," which means "the killer axe."

Background
Thoeun Theara was born in Sdav Village, Prey Kandieng Commune, Peam Ro District, Prey Veng province.

Theara was the only son in a family of four children and he did not have any chance to study. He left his hometown in Prey Veng province to live in Thailand with his parents as a child and he grew up watching his parents work as woodcutters for a business in Saraburi Province.

At the age of 10, Theara started working in a bread baking shop while still in Thailand with his father. When Theara was 15 years old (in 2013), he visited his hometown in Prey Veng with his parents and decided to stay in Cambodia to work for a nearby brick manufacturing business. In 2016, Theara and his parents returned to Thailand to work as metal cabinet blacksmiths. Unfortunately, this new job only lasted a year before they became unemployed again. This situation forced them to move back to Cambodia in 2017, where Theara worked as a construction worker in Phnom Penh.

While working in construction, Theara was advised by a friend to train at the Kun Khmer club of the Ministry of Agriculture near Aeon Mall Phnom Penh with trainer Yuth Phuthong, who is also the club's president.With his innate physical strength as well as the strength gained through hard work as a laborer, Theara was able to rapidly develop his skills and make his debut in a private arena in 2017. He ended the year undefeated after winning 9 games in a row and getting a draw. Kun Khmer Coach Eh Phuthong is Theara's trainer. During the fights from 2018 to early 2020, Theara met many famous Thai boxers in the ring and won more than 30 matches.

Career
During his two-year stay in Thailand, Theara established a reputation and gained a following of Cambodian fans who eagerly awaited his return to Cambodia. He finally returned in mid-2020 to resume his career in Kun Khmer boxing. However, his return did not meet expectations as he had to take a long-term break from the sport after four fights due to injury. But at the end of 2022, he surprised everyone at the Thai King's title competition when he expertly used his elbow to cause a significant gash on the right eye of Thai boxer Saiyok Sakchainrong. The bleeding was so severe that the doctor had to force Saiyok to stop the fight.
