BINTULU: Sarawak muay thai exponent Mikail Ghazali Zulfikar has upheld his family's golden legacy by clinching the gold in the 51-54 kilogramme category at the Malaysia Games (Sukma) today.
The 16-year-old, who is the younger brother of national muay thai star Johan Ghazali Zulfikar, popularly known as Jojo, made his Sukma debut by downing Melaka's Zulfakar Othman with a 24-14 score in the final held at Naim Street Paragon Mall.
Mikail's victory was a crucial part of Sarawak's strategy to secure two gold medals in muay thai, fulfilling their target.
In the 2022 Sukma in Kuala Lumpur, the Sarawak muay thai team had already celebrated gold wins in the 60-63.5kg category with Jojo and Elias Ghazali Zulfikar in the 63.5kg category.
The muay thai events, featuring a total of 18 gold medals, concluded today. - BERNAMA
