Biography and career

Biography

Farid Villaume is a boxer who has adapted remarkably well to the style Muaythai which is not the case for many European nakmuay who often have a style of boxing for the fists. His boxing is fine and precise, it is well known for placing his shots rather than being a puncher. It can be considered as one of the best French stylists, an example in terms of technics. He is particularly fond of boxing with elbows.

He is the most talented Muaythai fighter the country has produced since the legendary Dany Bill.

Farid had the privilege to train as a child with Thai instructors such as Lom Isarn, Lamkong or Soudareth. This is probably why Villaume is one of the few foreigners to fight exactly like a Thai.

Villaume stands at 1m80 for 72 kg. Father of Corsican and Moroccan mother, he has been training Muaythai since the age of 16.[2]

Early career

It counts more than 100 fights for more than 100 wins (including more than 80 by knockout), 7 defeats and 2 draws. Farid Villaume fought in Muaythai and Kickboxing.
