If you were to think of a country with the highest number of World Champions then Russia would immediately emerge as the obvious team.
7 current world champions in male and female divisions represent Russia, in Europe the numbers are just as impressive. In modern times the balance of power in muaythai is spread across continents and in Europe, Russian athletes are one of the players dominating the Muaythai stage.
