Quite possibly the most decorated and the best pound-for-pound non-Thai Muay Thai fighter today. Belgian-Morrocan fighter, Youssef Boughanem has achieved what no other foreigner has done before.
Between 2015 to 2020, Boughanem went nearly undefeated in 30 fights with a draw and only 2 losses by decision.
During this period, he captured the Omnoi stadium title, a Thai Fight tournament title, the WBC middleweight belt and most impressively, both the Lumpinee and Rajadamnern stadium titles.
Boughanem is the only farang to have won both the Lumpinee and Rajadamnern stadium belts, setting the bar high for foreign fighters that follow.
The Belgian first arrived in Thailand in 2007 at the age of 17, and over his career, faced nothing less than the country’s best. Boughanem has gone toe-to-toe with Saiyok Pumpanmuang, knocked out Kanongsuk Chuwattana, and won against Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee and Chanajon PKSaenchaiGym.
Boughanem owns and runs Petchsaman Gym in Pattaya city, a top camp for producing high-level fighters including his own brother, Yassine, a WBC heavyweight champion.
