# Youssef Boughanem

Youssef Boughanem (Brussel, 6 december 1989) is een Marokkaans-Belgisch vechtsporter. Hij is een voormalig Lumpinee Stadium, Rajadamnern Stadium, WBC Muay Thai, WMC, IBF Muaythai en Thai Fight kampioen. Boughanem wordt gezien als één van de beste thaiboksers ter wereld.

## Biografie

Boughanem groeide op in Etterbeek en begon, samen met zijn jongere broer Yassine Boughanem, op twaalfjarige leeftijd met vechtsport. Op jonge leeftijd verloor hij zijn ouders. Hierna vertrok hij naar Thailand om zich volledig te wijden aan het thaiboksen.

## Carrière

In februari 2018 versloeg hij Lumpinee Stadion-kampioen Noppakaw Siriluck in het Rajadamnern Stadion en won daarbij de Phoenix FC-titel en de vacante WBC Muaythai middengewicht wereldtitel.
In oktober 2018 versloeg hij de Thai Konjak Por Pao-In tijdens de Phoenix Fighting Championship in Paleis 12 te Brussel in een titelstrijd voor de WBC Muaythai-wereldtitel.
In april 2019 werd hij wereldkampioen WKN superweltergewicht nadat hij de Brit Joe Craven te Brussel had verslagen met TKO na vier rondes. Eveneens in 2019 kwam hij in het nieuws nadat hij een zakkenroller in de buurt van Brussel een gebroken schedel bezorgde nadat deze had getracht hem van zijn mobiele telefoon te beroven. In november 2019 verlengde hij zijn WBC Muaythai-wereldtitel tegen de Zweed Tobias Alexandersson.
