Already multiple times world champion, the boxer has just won a new gold medal in kickboxing, once again in another weight category. And it’s not over…
Still and always. Édouard Bernadou continues to have fun and enjoy himself when he steps into a ring. And since he wins more often than he loses, he goes on the charms. His last is in gold that he brought back, once again in kickboxing, in ISKA (largest federation of combat sports). And as the boy constantly likes to challenge himself, it is once again in a lower weight category that he has launched himself.
“5 years ago I started to have pro titles in ISKA at 72.5 kg, in Montauban I won at 70 kg, and this time I won at 67 kg. That is to say, in the same federation, I had three belts in three different weight categories. I’m very proud of it. I give myself new challenges to continue to evolve, and to have new combat opportunities, against opponents who might not have come to see me. I would like later, in the longer term, to go up to 75 kg, just to come full circle, and win the four belts” notes the gentleman hitter.
As we can see, Édouard Bernadou has not finished having fun: “The kick, I really like that; the ISKA federation is clean, recognized, with big fights every time. In this dynamic of reproducing what great champions have done in English boxing, I told myself that it would be not bad to try it in kick boxing, and to discover myself at each weight because we have new sensations each time “insists the one who continues his work as a sports coach (outside, at home, online, nutrition, lifestyle, but also in business…).
De l’or mondial in full-contact, in mai ?
Even if he no longer has his premises in Villebourbon since the first confinement, Édouard is well in his body (he is also looking for a room in Montauban). Beyond the challenges, Édouard Bernadou seeks each time to create the event. This time, it was in Haute-Garonne, in Muret, that Édouard Bernadou went to get this new belt, facing a Romanian: “A very good fight, not easy, which I won on points, unanimously from the judges. . He proceeded by accelerations, whereas I estimate that I was more precise, and more constant. At 67 kg, I feel good (three fights, three victories, editor’s note). It allows me to put my knowledge of nutrition and preparation into practice.”
While waiting to see higher at 75 kg, Édouard Bernadou, still licensed at the Dynamic center in Montpellier, still has his work cut out for him with a full-contact world belt on the program, on May 20, in Anglet, against Lionel Picord, multiple world champion in the discipline; will follow a gala in Geneva in the process to end the season.
