Biography

When growing up as a kid in France Dany used to play soccer but the day when he saw muay thai from TV changed his life. Right after that he visited RM Boxing Gym in his home town, Saint-Ouen where he met his longtime trainer/manager Rachid Saadi who started training him right away.

Dany Bill had his first fight at the age of 14 and became French Muay Thai Champion in 1988 when we was only 16 years old. He was a World Champion for 7 consecutive years, from 1993 to 1999 defeating all the best fighters in the world (Nokweed Devy, Pananonlek, Saimai Suk, Orono Por Muang U bon, Joel Cesar, Joe Prestia, Ramon Dekkers).[2]

He lost his World Title in 1999 against Sakmongkol.[3] After that he fought at King's Birthday 2000 in Thailand but lost again against Kaolan Kaovichit. Then he retired from muay thai for 2 years before making his first comeback in 2003 against Aurelien Duarte. Unfortunately, he suffered a leg injury during the 2nd round and lost the fight by TKO.

In 2006 Dany Bill made his second comeback in the European kickboxing fighting circuit - Superleague. On his first fight back he lost a controversial decision against Moises Baptista de Souza [4] but then beat Roberto Cocco from Italy by unanimous decision.
