Saensak was already in his 3rd professional fight WBC world champion and thus set a new record regardless of the weight classes . On June 21, 2014, this record was set by the Ukrainian Vasyl Lomatschenko , when he won the vacant WBO world title in featherweight against the American Gary Russell by majority decision .

In his 4th fight Saensak lost the belt to the Spaniard Miguel Velázquez by disqualification in the 4th round. However, he won it in a direct rematch by TKo in round 2 and defended it several times in a row.
