Under the esteemed Royal Patronage of the World Muaythai Council, the official weigh-in has been successfully completed for the vacant WMC International Title in the –63.5 kg division, setting the stage for a highly anticipated international showdown.
France’s Achille Robinet stepped onto the scales at 63.3 kg, while America’s McKiver Donovan registered 63.4 kg, with both athletes making weight and officially cleared to compete. Representing two proud Muaythai nations, both fighters now stand ready to showcase their skills on the global stage.
This contest represents far more than a championship bout. It is a prestige international clash between France and the United States, reflecting Muaythai at its highest level deeply rooted in tradition, honour, and respect, and united under the global values of the sport.
The bout will headline the Muay Thai Spirit event on Friday, 17 April, at the Palais des Sports d’Issy-les-Moulineaux, which has reached full capacity, welcoming a sold-out audience alongside distinguished VIPs, dignitaries, and leading figures from the international Muaythai community.
With global attention focused on this marquee contest, both athletes will enter the ring not only in pursuit of the prestigious WMC belt, but also to represent national pride, honour, and legacy.
Pascal Arène, representative of the World Muaythai Council in France, stated:
“I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the Fédération Française de Kickboxing, Muaythai et Disciplines Associées and to President Nadir Allouache for their outstanding support and commitment in delivering this exceptional event. My gratitude also goes to the WMC Headquarters in Thailand for their continued guidance and leadership.
Most importantly, I commend the athletes—coming together from different nations under one banner, embodying the true spirit of ‘One World, One Muaythai.’ This is what our sport represents: unity, respect, and excellence beyond borders.”
