Biography

When growing up as a kid in France Dany used to play soccer but the day when he saw muay thai from TV changed his life. Right after that, in 1986, he begins to train at Nemrod Boxing Gym (La Cité du Clos Saint Lazare) in his hometown Stains (93).

He lost his World Title in 1999 against Sakmongkol.[2] After that he fought at King's Birthday 2000 in Thailand but lost again against Kaolan Kaovichit. Then he retired from muay thai for 2 years before making his first comeback in 2003 against Aurelien Duarte. Unfortunately, he suffered a leg injury during the 2nd round and lost the fight by TKO.
