Youssef Boughanem (born December 6, 1989) is a Moroccan-Belgian Muay Thai and kickboxer, who has held WKN super welterweight Muay Thai title. He is also a former Lumpinee Stadium, Rajadamnern Stadium and WBC Muay Thai World Middleweight Champion. Boughanem currently trains out of the Petchsaman Gym in Thailand.
Boughanem is also a former Thai Fight tournament winner, having competed for the promotion from 2010 to 2017.
Youssef began practicing Muay Thai at the age of 12 and moved to Thailand with his brother, Yassine Boughanem, at the age of 17 to focus on training on a fulltime basis after the loss of both his parents. Yassine is a Muay Thai fighter in the heavyweight and super heavyweight divisions. [2]
He gained prominence when he competed in the first-ever Thai Fight event in 2010. On August 29, 2010, he defeated Australia's Jason Lea in the round-of-sixteen. He then defeated Ireland's Anthony Kane via extra-round decision in the quarter-finals on October 25, 2010. On December 6, 2010, Boughanem defeated Soichiro Miyakoshi to advance to the final round of the Thai Fight tournament.

After his first Thai Fight outing, Boughanem fought for different programs around Thailand and France. He eventually returned in 2013 when Thai Fight unveiled their new format: THAI FIGHT Kard Chuek. This format saw fighters wearing rope bindings instead of gloves (Muay Kard Chuek) and would eventually become the defining characteristic for subsequent Thai Fight events. Youssef Boughanem would enter the inaugural THAI FIGHT Kard Chuek tournament. On June 1, 2013, he defeated Salahdine Ait Naceur by second-round knockout in the 1/16 finals. He then beat Sebastien Billard in the 1/8 finals by first-round knockout on June 15, 2013.
On July 14, 2013, Boughanem faced Burmese fighter Zaw Tum in the quarterfinals and won by decision. Zaw Tum is better known as Tun Tun Min and went on to become openweight Lethwei World Champion.
On July 29, 2013, Boughanem was eliminated from the tournament when he lost in the semifinal round by decision to Saiyok Pumpanmuang, who eventually finished as the THAI FIGHT Kard Chuek tournament runner-up.
After an absence from the promotion in 2014, Youssef Boughanem made his return to Thai Fight in late 2015, appearing at THAI FIGHT Vietnam on October 24, 2015. There, he faced Russian fighter Yurik Davtyan and won by decision. Later on, he entered the 2015 THAI FIGHT 72.5 kg tournament.
