Veeraphol began his professional boxing career in 1994 under the management and promotion of
Suchart Pisitwuttinan of Nakornluang Promotion. In his debut fight, he won the WBC International
Super Flyweight Title. Remarkably, he challenged for a world title in only his fourth professional fight, defeating fellow Thai titleholder
Daorung Chuvatana. At that time, Veeraphol was recognized as one of the boxers who became a world champion in the fewest number of fights, second only to
Saensak Muangsurin in the 1970s. However, Veeraphol lost his first title defense to former WBC Super Flyweight Champion
Nana Konadu at
Kanchanaburi Stadium, losing the title after just four months. Three years after losing the WBA world title, Veeraphol earned his second shot at a world title against WBC Bantamweight Champion
Joichiro Tatsuyoshi on December 29, 1998. The bout took place in
Osaka, Japan, where Veeraphol won by
technical knockout in the sixth round, becoming a two-time world champion. He
faced Tatsuyoshi again in August 1999 and knocked him out in the seventh round to successfully defend his title for the second time. Between 1996 and 2005, Veeraphol defended his title 14 times while also winning numerous non-title fights. During his reign, he fought Japanese boxer
Toshiaki Nishioka four times, retaining his title in every encounter. Veeraphol eventually lost the WBC Bantamweight Title to
Hozumi Hasegawa in a 12-round
unanimous decision, ending a reign that lasted over six years. After losing his title to Hasegawa, Veeraphol fought five non-title bouts, winning all, with four of those wins by knockout. On March 25, 2006, he challenged Hasegawa once again in
Kobe to avenge his loss. However, Veeraphol was knocked down by a right hook in the ninth round and was unable to recover. This marked the second knockout loss of his career and was his eighth fight in Japan.
Retirement Veeraphol announced his retirement from boxing at the age of 39 following a loss to
Vusi Malinga in a world title eliminator on June 12 in
Bangkok, Thailand. However, he made a comeback less than a year later on March 20, 2009, when he knocked out Yudi Arema. After retiring, Veeraphol opened a Thai food restaurant in
Chaiyaphum province, his wife's hometown. Sometimes, he even takes time to cook the food himself. He also works as a trainer at the Dabransarakarm gym in
Maha Sarakham province. At the end of 2017, Veeraphol returned to competition again, this time in Muay Thai style. He faced his old rival Samson Dutch Boy Gym in a special bout at Lumpinee Stadium. Despite a strong effort, the 49-year-old Sahaprom lost by decision in front of a large and enthusiastic crowd.{{cite web|url=https://www.khaosod.co.th/sports/news_685936|title=แซมซั่นสุดเก๋าชนะแต้มวีระพล สะใจแฟนมวยไทย-เทศทั้งเวที In 2023, American vlogger and fellow Muay Thai practitioner
