Rhassan Muhareb talks recent I-1 tournament win and future plans

Rhassan Muhareb is one Palestine’s top Muay Thai Fighters. He recently won the WMC I-1 Muay Thai GP by knocking out all three of his opponents. Rhassan was kind enough to talk to Muay Thai Authority about his tournament win as well as life as fighter, a father and putting in 40 hour work weeks to go along with his training to fight at a high level.

MTA: You recently won the WMC I-1 Muaythai GP, how big was it for you winning the tournament?

Rhassan: It was big for me to win I-1. I trained so hard to get ready for the tournament. My wife just had our first baby, and I work 40 hours! So my time for getting ready was planned in every minute I had, so I could train. I had my little girl in the gym with me every morning to train before work. I could see all the hard work paid off now, I am so happy for winning I-1, and I was injured 6 weeks before the fight my coach told me not to fight because of my knee ligament. But I would not cancel the fight; I went to Hong Kong by myself for 22 hours and knocked ever body out so I’m proud and happy.
