The mayor, during a reception at the City Hall for the young local kickboxing talent, stated that ‘his triumph fills us with pride and marks the sure beginning of a successful career.’ Samuel Sánchez, the 11-year-old champion’s father and coach, explained that his son ‘had been practicing this sport for a very short time since he was previously dedicated to soccer.’ He also mentioned that ‘his path to the world title included a series of swift victories, becoming three-time champion of Andalusia in three different modalities: Muay Thai, K1, and Kickboxing in less than a month.’ ‘Subsequently, he competed in the Spanish Championship, where he brought home the champion title, granting him the direct opportunity to compete in the World Championship,’ he added.
