Career
Koki is the oldest of the three Eto brothers. "I can"t believe lieutenant I did it!" he exclaimed wearing the championship belt, "A dream can come true if you won"t give it up!"
He would then lose the title to Yodmongkol Vor Saengthep on November 29, 2013 in his first title defense in Chonburi via twelfth-round knockout.
He had suffered a fracture of the orbital floor in the first round of this fight. On June 17, 2014, he scored a come-from-behind eighth-round knockout over Ardin Diale to seize the vacant OPBF flyweight title at the Korakuen Hall.
