Tun Tun Min trilogy

A few months before their first fight where Tun Tun Min had beaten Saw Nga Man for the openweight title. Their first meeting was on December 7, 2014 at the inaugural Air KBZ sponsored Aung Lan Championship. In a stunning upset Washington knocked out Tun Tun Min in round three in spectacular fashion.[32][33] Even after using his time-out Tun Tun Min could no longer continue. Because the bout was considered an exhibition match,[34] the openweight title was not at stake.

The rematch took place 4 months later on April 11, 2015 at Thuwunna National Indoor Stadium in Yangon. Cyrus was once again able to knock out Tun Tun Min with a spinning technique. Unlike in their first fight Tun Tun Min was able to recover during his timeout and eventually knock Cyrus down in the 5th round prompting the corner to throw in the towel. Cyrus later explained that there was some confusion about the rules. He tried to call for a timeout, but according to the official rules you cannot use one in the last round and resulted in the towel being thrown.[35]

On December 20, 2015, Tun Tun Min faced Cyrus Washington at the second Air KBZ Aung Lan Championship, for their third and final fight.[36] The fight ended quickly and Tun Tun Min struck Cyrus on the eye socket. After taking his timeout Cyrus made clear that he did not want to continue, and the match was stopped declaring Tun Tun Min the victor after just 71 seconds.[37] After the fight many fans were displeased with how the fight concluded and threw bottles and other items into the ring.[38]

Before the fight both men had agreed to a potentiel extension of the fight in case the fight went into a draw.[39] The match went for seven rounds rather than the sport's typical five. The fight ended in a draw, but both fighters said did not want to fight for this long again.[32] Cyrus was set to face Tun Tun Min in December for a third and deciding grudge match.[40]

Challenging Leduc

Washington and Dave Leduc being the only two fighter to have stopped knockout artist Tun Tun Min, during Leduc's rise in Lethwei, fans often entertained the idea of a match between the two foreigners.[41] In 2017, Washington officially challenged Leduc, who agreed to a challenge under traditional Lethwei rules.[42][43]

On August 20, 2017, Washington faced Leduc inside the Thuwunna National Indoor Stadium in Yangon, Myanmar, at the occasion of Myanmar Lethwei World Championship.[44] With over 100 fights to his record, Washington was the more experienced fighter of the two with Leduc having only 22 fights.[45] Thought Leduc dominated by applying pressure, drawing blood, and backing his opponent down, the fight was declared a draw under traditional Lethwei rules marking Leduc's fourth title defense in eight months.[46]

On 7 November 2020, Washington challenged Dave Leduc for the second and final time to determine who is the best foreign Lethwei fighter.[47][48] The fight was under traditional Lethwei rules in Cheyenne, Wyoming inside a cage and Leduc won the fight by TKO.[49][50][51]
