BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai inmate Samson Sor Siriporn boosted her chances of freedom by beating Japan's Ayaka Miyano to win the vacant women's WBC light-flyweight title at the notorious "Bangkok Hilton" prison Tuesday.
Siriporn, 24, was jailed seven years ago for selling "ya ba" methamphetamine pills and took up boxing to pass the time and to protect herself from violent inmates.
Thai corrections department chief Natti Jitsawang said "I think it's very likely she will be released as a result of this victory, maybe in a couple of months. We gave her a chance to show us her talent, and she has done that."
