Tun Tun Min was born in a remote village of Mon state.{{Cite news|url=https://www.aa.com.tr/en/asia-pacific/ethnic-muslim-fighter-eyes-myanmar-s-kickboxing-crown/1325639|title=Ethnic Muslim fighter eyes Myanmar's kickboxing crown|last=Linn|first=Kyaw Ye|date=30 November 2018|work=Anadolu Agency}} He is the second eldest son of Lethwei fighter U Tun Tun Zaw and his wife Daw Aye Win.{{Cite news|url=https://burma.irrawaddy.com/article/2015/05/01/74351.html|title=ဘက်တူရင် လူမရွေးတဲ့ ထွန်းထွန်းမင်း|last=Tun|first=Kyaw Myo|date=1 May 2015|work=The Irrawaddy Burmese Edition|access-date=2 December 2018}} Tun Tun Min was introduced to the world of traditional boxing through his grandfather and father, both well-known former Lethwei fighters in the Mon state.{{Cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1228748|title=Foreigners drawn to Myanmar's bone-crunching kickboxing|date=25 December 2015|website=Dawn|access-date=30 November 2018}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.foxsportsasia.com/combat-sports/998320/lethwei-star-tun-tun-mins-road-to-redemption/|title=Lethwei star Tun Tun Min's road to redemption|last=Arthur|first=Richard|date=15 December 2018|work=Fox Sports Asia|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181218011543/https://www.foxsportsasia.com/combat-sports/998320/lethwei-star-tun-tun-mins-road-to-redemption/|archive-date=18 December 2018}} At the age of 6, he started training with sandbags and rudimentary equipment that his father had bought him. By 4th grade, at the age of 9, he won his first fight at the local elementary school against a rival classmate he didn't get along with. They were amateur Lethwei fights fought on the sand and not yet in a ring.{{Cite web|url=http://burma.irrawaddy.com/article/2015/04/09/73765.html|title=ဘက်တူရင် လူမရွေးတဲ့ ထွန်းထွန်းမင်း|last=Tun|first=Kyaw Myo|date=9 April 2015|website=Irrawaddy Burmese Edition|access-date=28 November 2018}}

In 6th grade, Tun Tun Min decided to drop out of school to focus exclusively on his fighting career in order to support his family. For a short period of time, from 2007 until 2009, he also worked at a pineapple plantation in Thailand to earn more income. His boss at the time dared him to fight some Muay Thai boys in the village which he won. Although he did beat them, his boss unfortunately denied him to further pursue this venture. Upon his return home, Tun Tun Min joined the Mudontha Lethwei Club, founded in 2008 by Saya U Ye Thway, U Thamain Thawdar and Tun Tun Min's father.{{Cite web|url=http://www.bornwarriorsmovie.com/index.php/tribute|title=U Ye Thwe|last=Giordano|first=Vincent|date=2015|website=Born Warriors Project|access-date=28 November 2018}}

Under the guidance of his new teachers, Tun Tun Min started his professional career fighting for prize money in Lethwei fights in pagodas and other religious festivals.{{Cite news|url=https://myanmar.mmtimes.com/sports/3431-2013-01-25-10-35-48.html|title=မြန်မာလက်ဝှေ့ကျော်များ အနိုင်ရခဲ့သည့် ရိုးရာလက်ဝှေ့စိန်ခေါ်ပွဲ|author=Kyaw Zin Hlaing|date=24 January 2013|work=Myanmar Times}} He quickly became a rising star because of his aggressive style{{Cite news|url=https://www.mmtimes.com/sports/martial-arts/19840-another-first-round-win-for-tun-tun-min.html|title=Another first round win for Tun Tun Min|last=Hlaing|first=Kyaw Zin|date=5 April 2016|work=Myanmar Times}} and more opportunities came around.{{Cite news|url=https://myanmar.mmtimes.com/national-news/3596-2013-02-07-05-31-29.html|title=ထွန်းထွန်းမင်းနဲ့ ဒေါနအောင်ရဲ့ ပြည်ထောင်စုနေ့ တောင်ငူပွဲ|last=Hae Bi|first=Sein|date=7 February 2013|work=Myanmar Times}} He faced another rising star in Too Too to a draw. Three days after, Tun Tun Min was offered a fight for 6 Lakh or 600 000 Burmese kyats against Soe Lin Oo, a 2010 Golden Belt champion and already an established name at the time. Because his father insisted, the match was signed and ultimately fought to a draw.{{Cite news|url=https://myanmar.mmtimes.com/sports/5020-2013-05-10-09-52-42.html|title=ထိတ်ထိတ်ကြဲပွဲစဉ်များပါ၀င်မည့် ရိုးရာလက်ဝှေ့စိန်ခေါ်ပွဲကြီး ကျင်းပမည်|last=Hlaing|first=Kyaw Zin|date=9 May 2013|work=Myanmar Times}} At the time, Tun Tun Min described Soe Lin Oo as the toughest opponent he had ever faced.

Over the course of his career Tun Tun Min has been discriminated against because of his Muslim background.{{Cite news|url=https://www.mmtimes.com/news/boxing-your-way-myanmar-culture.html|title=Boxing your way into Myanmar culture|last=Kalaung|first=Zuzakar|date=15 December 2017|work=Myanmar Times|access-date=2 December 2018}} Fans often let their voice be heard during his matches with foreign competition, shouting racist remarks and outing their discriminating opinion in interviews. In 2017 a calendar listing current and former champions in various categories, omitted Tun Tun Min's name, title and likeness in the champions category. This prompted media to accuse the Myanmar Traditional Boxing Federation, who had commissioned the calendar, of discrimination.{{Cite news|url=http://www.m-mediagroup.com/news/71897|title=ရိုးရာ လက်ဝှေ့ အဖွဲ့ချူပ် ပြက္ခဒိန်တွင် ထွန်းထွန်းမင်း ဓါတ်ပုံ ချန်ထားခံရ|date=10 October 2017|work=M-Media8}} Tun Tun Min admitted considering leaving the sport, but the fact that he might be able to win his open-weight title back changed his mind.

On March 31, 2019, Tun Tun Min faced Muaythai Champion Thaneelek Lookkromluang form Thailand and won by KO.{{Cite news|url=https://myanmar.mmtimes.com/sports/3431-2013-01-25-10-35-48.html|title=Myanmar's Tun Tun Min knock out Thaneelek of Thailand|author=Kyaw Zin Hlaing|date=1 April 2019|work=Myanmar Times}}

On September 21, 2014, Tun Tun Min became Openweight Lethwei World champion by defeating Saw Nga Man, a friend with whom he trained together for the SEA Games and someone he has looked up to for the majority of his professional career. At the age of 21, Tun Tun Min became the youngest fighter in history to win a Lethwei Golden belt. At that time 33 year old Saw Nga Man, nicknamed Saw Shark, had been a dominant openweight champion for five years and people started to question his durability while continually facing up-and-coming younger fighters.{{Cite news|url=https://www.mmtimes.com/sports/11190-two-two-eyes-golden-belt.html|title=Two Two eyes Golden Belt|last=Hlaing|first=Kyaw Zin|date=28 July 2014|work=Myanmar Times|access-date=28 November 2018}} These doubts where answered on that fateful evening when Myanmar crowned its latest champion.{{Cite news|url=https://myanmar.mmtimes.com/sports/12044-2014-09-26-04-37-43.html|title=စောငမန်းကို အလဲထိုးအနိုင်ယူပြီး မြန်မာပြည် ချန်ပီယံဖြစ်လာတဲ့ ထွန်းထွန်းမင်း|last=Hlaing|first=Kyaw Zin|date=25 September 2014|work=Myanmar Times}}

Cyrus Washington had his introduction to Lethwei back in 2010 when he faced Saw Nga Man, who was the champion at the time,{{Cite web|url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/an-american-has-become-a-major-lethwei-star-in-myanmar/|title=An American Has Become a Major Lethwei Star in Myanmar|last=Goyder|first=James|date=2 September 2015|website=Vice Sports}} long before Tun Tun Min's name would even start to appear in newspapers. Because Cyrus was already an accomplished Muay Thai fighter it took 4 years before Tun Tun Min was eligible to fight him. The opportunity presented itself a few months before their first fight where Tun Tun Min had beaten Saw Nga Man for the open-weight title.

Their first meeting was on December 7, 2014 at the inaugural Air KBZ sponsored Aung Lan Championship, currently an event where winners in each weight-class receive a belt and a triangular champions flag. In a stunning upset Cyrus knocked out Tun Tun Min in round three in spectacular fashion.{{Cite news|url=https://www.mmtimes.com/sports/15534-too-too-faces-american-in-monsoon-dust-up.html|title=Too Too faces American in monsoon dust up|last=Hlaing|first=Kyaw Zin|date=16 July 2015|work=Myanmar Times}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.mmtimes.com/sports/18149-lethwei-champion-to-face-usa-fighter-for-the-third-time.html|title=Lethwei Champion to face USA fighter for the third time|last=Hlaing|first=Kyaw Zin|date=15 December 2015|work=Myanmar Times}} Even after using his time-out Tun Tun Min could no longer continue.

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. The confusion and miscommunication resulted in the towel being thrown.{{Cite web|url=https://www.mmtimes.com/sports/14116-washington-to-kick-back.html|title=Washington to kick back|last=Hlaing|first=Kyaw Zin|date=24 April 2015|website=Myanmar Times}}

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.{{Cite news|url=https://www.mmtimes.com/sports/18500-lone-chaw-s-protege.html|title=Lone Chaw's protege|last=Hlaing|first=Kyaw Zin|date=15 January 2016|work=Myanmar Times|access-date=30 November 2018}} After the fight many fans were displeased with how the fight concluded and threw bottles and other items into the ring.

Tun Tun Min participated at the first Lethwei organized by the ILFJ. He faced Australian Adem Yilmaz at Lethwei Grand Prix Japan 2016 and knockout him out at the end of the 5th round.{{Cite news|url=http://burmese.dvb.no/archives/173824|title=ဂျပန်မလေးများ ၀ိုင်းဝိုင်းလည်နေသည့် မြန်မာလက်ဝှေ့ကျော် ထွန်းထွန်းမင်း (ရုပ်သံ).|last=Hlaing|first=Zaw Zaw|date=28 October 2016|work=DVB}}

In 2016, Tun Tun Min was challenged Canadian born fighter Dave Leduc and because of Leduc's dominant performance over Too Too, Tun Tun Min accepted the challenge.{{Cite news|url=https://myanmar.mmtimes.com/sports/21194-2016-08-31-08-05-57.html|title=ဂျီတီဂျီဂရု(ပ်)၏ တတိယမြောက် ရိုးရာလက်ဝှေ့ပွဲစဉ်အတွက် ဆုကြေးငွေ ကျပ်သိန်း ၅၀၀ ခန့် အသုံးပြုမည်|last=Hlaing|first=Kyaw Zin|date=31 August 2016|work=Myanmar Times}} In their first match, Tun Tun Min started strong and dominated the early rounds,{{Cite news|url=https://www.mmtimes.com/sports/24187-myanmar-s-lethwei-goliath-toppled-by-canadian-dave.html|title=Myanmar's lethwei goliath toppled by Canadian 'Dave'|last=Hlaing|first=Kyaw Zin|work=Myanmar Times|date=13 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220103042820/https://www.mmtimes.com/sports/24187-myanmar-s-lethwei-goliath-toppled-by-canadian-dave.html|archive-date=January 3, 2022|url-status=dead }} but Leduc came back in later rounds, resulting in the exciting match ending in a draw. After the match, Tun Tun Min was quoted saying that he had difficulties with Dave's ability to control the distance, but that he was confident and able to put on a better performance when they would rematch.{{Cite news|url=https://myanmar.mmtimes.com/sports/22214-2016-10-13-08-37-37.html|title=ချန်ပီယံအတွက် နောက်ထပ် ပြိုင်ဘက်ကောင်း တစ်ယောက် သို့မဟုတ် ဒေ့ဗ်လက်ဒက်|last=Hlaing|first=Kyaw Zin|date=13 October 2016|work=Myanmar Times}}

Tun Tun Min was forced to take the time-out. Continuation of round three saw Leduc execute another throw, Tun Tun Min eventually forfeited and lost for only the second time in his professional career.{{cite web|last1=Lelièvre|first1=Benoît|title=Le champion de boxe à mains nues québécois que vous ne connaissez pas|url=https://www.vice.com/fr_ca/contributor/benoit-lelievre|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170314004626/https://www.vice.com/fr_ca/contributor/benoit-lelievre|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 14, 2017|website=Vice Quebec|date=30 May 2017}}{{cite web|title=デーブ・レダックチャンピオン Dave Leduc Champion|url=https://miruhon.net/51700|website=The Weekly Fight|date=12 December 2016}}{{cite web|title=【ラウェイ】地上最も過激な格闘技の英雄を倒したカナダ人王者、無敗戦士と激突(Japanese)|url=http://efight.jp/news-20170201_254482|website=eFight Japan|date=2 January 2017}}

On December 11, 2016, Tun Tun Min sustained an injury to his knee in the fight with Dave Leduc and instead of opting for surgery right away, he fought in WLC 1. Following the fight, he took three months off to rest. In that time he felt depressed and was not sure if he would be able to fight again because of the injury. On April 7, 2017, after some encouraging words from his father he traveled to Thailand, to get surgery on his right meniscus and the ligament. He was operated at Phyathai Nawamin International Hospital in Bangkok.{{Cite news|url=https://www.mmtimes.com/news/back-injury-tun-tun-min-raring-go.html|title=Back from injury, Tun Tun Min raring to go|last=Hlaing|first=Kyaw Zin|date=30 November 2017|work=Myanmar Times}} After successful surgery Tun Tun Min stayed for a brief recuperation until flying back home on April 18.
