International Kickboxer News

Rafik Bakkouri is no stranger to fans of Muay Thai. The 29-year-old is the French Muay Thai Champion as well as a three-time Class A Champion. He doubles up as a fighter and trainer at Franthai Full gym in Paris, and is known r\to be a cold and clinical customer in the ring. In life, he is a cocky, confident and chatty character – with a love for dinning, partying and sports, as well as reggae music. During fights, he may look impassive but ask anyone who have lost him professionally and they will beg to differ. Born under the sign of Scorpio, Bakkouri certainly comes with a deadly sting in the tail with 27 wins from 33 fights(10 by KO), with 2 draws and only 4 losses. One of the losses was in January 2007 when he was badly beaten by Yodsanklai. This time around, he will be better prepared.
