Wonjongkam had a record of 9-2 early in his career—both losses were to Filipino journeyman Jerry Pahayahay.[1] Since the second loss (on July 11, 1996), Wonjongkam has won 55 consecutive bouts - longest current continuous win streak in boxing.

In his fourth WBC flyweight title defense—against Japanese flyweight titleholder Daisuke Naito on April 19, 2002—Wonjongkam knocked out Naito in 34 seconds.[1] This knockout set the record for fastest knockout in flyweight division history.[2]
