It had been a few months since he had been more discreet. And for good reason, the Montpellier champion Jimmy Vienot was up to something! The one who has already entered the history of Thai boxing by winning 7 world championship titles and a Lumpinee belt (the ultimate consecration in this sport), is preparing for a double reconversion.
In fact, he has been training for months within the La Bonne École club but also during training camp organized in Abu Dhabi to perform at MMA. “My goal is to do as many fights as possible next fall and to reap victories,” warns the one who is starting from scratch.
“I had to adapt to this new sport because more technical background is required, particularly in hand-to-hand and ground work,” explains Jimmy Vienot. In the MMA world, many predict a glorious future for “JV01”.
