Win Tun is a self-taught MTB warrior. He has been testing his skills in the ring for over a decade. He tried very hard to win some kind of MTB Flag Class Champion. He was not able to pass the fifth class (which is the lowest class flag) in any of the Traditional Flag Championships. He was not a clown or anything, but there were always better MTB warriors who defeated him again and again in his earlier days challenge matches and Traditional Flag Competitions.

He reappeared in the MTB ring a changed and polished MTB warrior in 2003 GBC tournament and surprised everyone by wining the Golden Belt(60kg). He hasn't lost a match ever since. Everyone who lost to Win Tun after 2003 got a devastated KO. Win Tun is a triple Golden Belt Champion with huge accomplishments, about 70 fights, 40 wins and hasn't lost since 2005, winning streak of 2 years. He is currently one of the most skilled MTB fighters in Myanmar.
