The Carpenter Hall Stadium in Paris on Saturday 7th of May 2011 will be the venue for the finals of the pro-French championships. Hichem Abdel and Chafay Abderrahim from Team Zeitoun have both reached the finals, a grueling task which is spread out over several weeks of competition.
Andre “Maltese Blood” Zeitoun the famous Muaythai coach, who is of Maltese descent in a telephone interview with Malta Boxing News, said: “These championships for professional fighters are very important; the winners are selected to form part of the French national team.”
Andre who is very often in Malta helping out and supporting Maltese combat sport clubs is a consummate professional touring many countries through out the year, giving seminars and demonstrations.
Asked about the Zeitoun Club and Team Zeitoun in Paris Andre said: “The club is of course a full time commercial operation with group training and one on one sessions scheduled through out the day. Team Zeitoun is our competition team for professional fighters. The Zeitoun team does not take fighters from other teams or clubs, all team members (Team Zeitoun) have been training with my club since the very beginning of their introduction to thai boxing.”
About his next visit to the Maltese Islands Andre said: “I wish I could be there more often, unfortunately this is not always possible. However I plan to be in Malta twice in early summer to attend and officiate at local competitions.”
Andre is very proud of his Maltese ancestry: “I am so proud of my Maltese origins and the support I have in Malta. Thank you,” said Andre.

Andre Zeitoun Visits Malta Thai Boxing Club
Andre Zeitoun one of France’s top coaches in Muay Thai and trainer of several famous French international champions is presently in Malta with his family.
Andre who is half Maltese paid a visit to Malta’s one and only “Malta Thai Boxing” club which is based on the 8th floor of the Preluna Towers Hotel in Sliema.
The Maltese club is managed and run by English Thai boxer and coach, Al “Appolo” Creed and was established just six months ago.
Andre was very impressed by the atmosphere and feeling of energy created by the members during the session and also by the proficiency level achieved by some of the more advanced members of the Malta club.
Andre in an interview with Malta Boxing News said “ I am very pleased to see Muay Thai being introduced in Malta at last and under the guidance of a high caliber coach with the professional qualities required to ensure that the Thai sport spreads through out the Island and produces high level athletes”.
“ I am very impressed with the enthusiasm of the members and some show good potential to reach higher levels” – said Andre.
Coach, Al Creed thanked Andre for his interest in visiting the club and said that hopefully this visit will initiate the start of a fruitful relation between “Team Zeitoun” which is one of the better know Muay Thai clubs in Europe and the “Malta Thai Boxing” club.
