The participation of the Algerian Rachid Meskine in the African Thai Boxing Championship (WBC Muay Thai), disputed on February 27, 2021 in Abidjan in Ivory Coast, raised, three months later, a great controversy in Algeria.
The most astonishing thing is that this competition took place in Abidjan on February 27, 2021. During the fight in which he took part, it was the Togolese Mawuka Komlan (super heavy) who was crowned African champion by dominating Algerian Rachid Meskine (41). But dramatically, the Togolese lost his title of champion because he did not appear at the doping control.
Suddenly, the title went to the Oran Rachid Meskine who had lost the fight. This is the real story of Meskine who offered Algeria the Thai Muay belt.
However, if “certain parties” extol and regain Meskine’s supremacy with much delay, they must know that he has gone out of his way to honor the national colors.
The latter does not have any preparation scholarship. He traveled to Côte d’Ivoire last February with his own means to participate in this African Championship. “Although I had no help to prepare for international events, I still and honorably defend my country”, said Meskine, who first practiced judo at the age of 5 before embarking in 2008 in the race. Thai boxing.
For the record, his father Hadj Meskine is the dean of Algerian judo. His brothers also all practiced martial arts and some were selected for the national judo team.
