KOTA BARU, Feb 15 — National Muay Thai star Ahmad Nor Iman Aliff Rakib harbours high hopes that the combat sport will become a medal sport in the Olympics soon, as he intends to be the first among firsts to swipe it.
Muay Thai, a combat sport originating from Thailand, has been a medal sport in several SEA Games, but has never been competed as a medal sport in the Olympics. “I am very happy with the victory. I really expected to defeat him in the first or second round. Intensive training for a month paid off. I trained in Bangkok, lost weight and prepared well before the bout,” he said.
Aliff Rakib, who is currently ranked second in his Catchweight category, has also set a target to bring the One Championship belt home to Malaysia.
