[8] The real start of Tway Ma Shaung's career was during the 1999/2000 season in Mon State where he was taught by local legend U Dee, the grandfather of Shwe Yar Mann.

In round 5 Kyal Lin Aung scored a knockdown and although Tway Ma Shaung got up in time, he was too tired to continue and decided to turn his back and hand over the victory.

Tway was able to best him in most of their meetings but both the beauty and level of violence these two brought to the ring was the primary selling point for most visitors, regardless of outcome.

Closing out his career he attempted to attain the highest possible achievement in lethwei by fighting the national champion Saw Nga Man, a good 15kg heavier, who was the title-holder since 2009.

[1] In an interview a year after his retirement he said he had chosen family life at the request of his wife, because he always kept that itch to get back into the ring,[2] persistent rumors often appear of Tway Ma Shaung returning.

[3] In 2018, The Daily Eleven falsely reported his return to the ring, as did various outlets after he appeared on a press conference prior to WLC 6: Heartless Tigers.
