The Algerian Muay Thai fighter feels that moving up to the featherweight division will unlock his true potential

Algerian Muay Thai stand-out Younes Rabah knows that victory over Shadow Singha Mawynn in the co-main event at ONE Fight Night 33 on July 12 in Bangkok will all but guarantee him a place in the featherweight Muay Thai top five – where the Thai star currently sits after a surging five-fight winning streak.

“I just feel excited for this new challenge for me,” Rabah told the Post. “I feel like I’m taking one more step towards achieving my goal.”

Shadow, who is ranked third after his winning run, has defeated a who’s who of elite strikers, including Hassan Vahdanirad, Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong, Mohammad Siasarani, Jimmy Vienot and Erik Hehir – two of those wins coming by stoppage.

But Rabah was not that impressed.
