Rabat – Less than two weeks after claiming her third title at the French Muay Thai and boxing Championship in France, 11-year-old French-Moroccan athlete Aya Bozarhoun has once again distinguished herself in the sporting event.
Bozarhoun added a fourth title to her achievements in the French Championship after becoming the French FSGT champion. Aya is now the first-ever athlete to win four titles in the tournament in the same year.
Bozarhoum took to Instagram to celebrate her recent win. She posted a picture of herself wearing the gold medal with the caption: “4th French championship for me this year, Thanks to my coach @delf_muaythai for everything he does for me and for this incredible season.”
She also extended her thanks to the Strasbourg Thai boxing club, as well as her family and friends who have been supporting her during “this crazy year.”
Earlier this year, in January, the young athlete won the Grand Est Junior Championship of Muay Thai, which qualified her to participate in this month’s tournament in Paris.

In April, Bozarhoun claimed her second title after winning the French K-1 kickboxing championship in the junior category.
Last month, the young Moroccan star won the national championship of the French Academy of Muay Thai in the category of under 37 kilograms.
Originally from the Moroccan city of Tetouan, the 11-year-old boxing champion currently lives in Strasbourg, in northeastern France.
Following her win, Abdelkrim El Hilali, president of the Moroccan Royal Federation of Kickboxing and Muay Thai, called Bozarhoum and congratulated her on winning the four titles.
Sometimes referred to as Thai boxing, Muay Thai is a martial art and combat sport that originated in Thailand. It uses a different striking system than kickboxing.
