To do Koh Lanta, you need great mental capacities, but also physical ones, and in this little game, Lucie Bertaud certainly does not lack! Finalist of the TF1 show last spring, the 36-year-old young woman is a confirmed athlete and above all a renowned boxer. Five-time French welterweight champion in 2004 and 2010 as well as European champion in 2007, the former adventurer took up MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) since the discipline was authorized in France.
A fairly violent combat sport that she can now practice in France, but that she has known for a long time. “I discovered and practiced it in 2015 and I ate my black bread well. Back then, you almost had to go into hiding to practice. To fight, you had to go abroad, to the United States. There was no recognition “, she tells our colleagues from Parisian. And now that this is authorized in France, we will find Lucie Bertaud during her second official fight this Saturday, October 30 at the Zénith in Paris.
