Saudi boxer Al-Baraa Al-Amoudi clinched the gold medal in the International Federation of Muaythai Associations (IFMA) Senior Championship 2024, held in Greece.
Al-Amoudi, competing in the under-23, 57 kg category, triumphed over a field of international competitors from over 80 countries. This marks a historic first for Saudi Arabia in Thai boxing, SPA reported.
His victory came in a nail-biting final against Russia's Igor Bikruve, where Al-Amoudi edged him out with a score of 29-28.
Al-Amoudi was not the only Saudi athlete to leave their mark on the championship. The Saudi delegation, consisting of 12 fighters, brought home several more medals.

The 2024 edition of Wimbledon is scheduled to start on Monday, with defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and past Grand Slam title winners Coco Gauff and Emma Raducanu all set to play in matches at Centre Court.
Alcaraz just won his third major championship at the French Open three weeks ago, The Associated Press said.
He defeated Novak Djokovic in last year's final at Wimbledon. Alcaraz faces qualifier Mark Lajal of Estonia on Day 1 on the All England Club's grass courts.
Raducanu won the 2021 US Open at age 18, but she has been dealing with various injuries since then. Her scheduled opponent — No. 22 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova — withdrew Monday morning because of illness. Alexandrova was replaced by Renata Zarazua, a so-called “lucky loser” from the qualifying tournament.
Gauff, who won the US Open last September, closes out the day's schedule in the main stadium against Caroline Dolehide in an all-American matchup.
No. 1-ranked Jannik Sinner is also on Monday's schedule, playing Yannick Hanfmann at No. 1 Court.
