Under the supervision of the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation, and in cooperation with Mejiro Gym Club ? Amsterdam, Holland hosts on Sunday, March 10th, 2013 an international sport competition in Free Fight. Many international champions will take part in the competition, including five Moroccans; namely, the former world?s champion in kick boxing and free fight Hassan Chkirech, Reda Bida, Ali Motawakil and Ahmed Ben Ahmed.
In a statement to Morocco World News, former world champion Hassan Chkirech explained that the objective of his participation in this international event and his fight against the former world champion Bryan Feldman is to integrate Moroccan champions in the competition and allow them to gain more experience in this sport (free fight) which is not yet recognized by the Morocco Ministry of Youth and Sports.
He went on to say that his personal participation under the name of ?Taza Federation for Creativity and Development? is not but an evidence of the absence of a Royal Moroccan Federation for Free Fight despite the existence of more than 25 Free Fight clubs scattered along the country. Recently, the League of Sous-Massa-Deraa and the League of Chaouiya for Free Fight were founded and in the near future the League of the East will follow.
In his last training session before setting out to Holland, Hassan Chkirech stated that the Federation of Taza for Creativity and Development is recognized by the International Free Fight Federation and it includes highly distinguished Moroccan champions who will mark their first participation in an international competition. The latter, Chkirech said, will probably be streamed lively on Eurosport channel.
