01 — THE ATHLETE

A fighter built
from age three

Bassam stepped onto the mat at three years old. By four he was the youngest kickboxing belt holder in Sri Lanka — a record he still holds, set before most children start school sport.

His weapon is Muay Thai, the art of eight limbs — Olympic-recognised, and Sri Lanka's 63rd national sport. He's carried it from Bangkok to Abu Dhabi, often the only Sri Lankan in the room, and he's done it without state backing. This page exists to change that.

The Art of Eight Limbs

Eight weapons,
one fighter

Muay Thai turns the body into eight points of contact — two fists, two elbows, two knees, two shins. Bassam has been sharpening all eight since he was three.

04 — THE PLATFORM

Youth ambassador
for three causes

UTS
United Through Sports

Representing youth sport on the world stage — including as the only Sri Lankan and youngest ambassador at the Bangkok World Youth Festival.

IFMA
Int'l Federation of Muaythai Associations

The Olympic-recognised global body for Muay Thai. Bassam serves as a youth ambassador and a repeat world-championship medallist.

Mission 89
Against Child Trafficking Through Sport

Lending his voice to protect children worldwide — a cause that makes him a uniquely brand-safe young figure to stand behind.

The future leaders belong to us. — Bassam, addressing the world at Srinakharinwirot University, Bangkok
Mongkon Academy Bangkok

Completed a 10-day specialist Muay Thai training camp at one of Thailand's revered academies — training where the art was born.

Grand Master's Honour 2019

At age five, personally appreciated and presented a souvenir by Grand Master Dr. Ajarn Chao Wathayotha of Thailand.

Youngest Belt Holder Age 4

Became the youngest kickboxing belt holder in Sri Lanka — a national record set before most children start school sport.

05 — PARTNERSHIP

Partner with
Bassam

A national talent the
state hasn't funded.
You can.

Bassam has won for Sri Lanka across four continents without state sponsorship. Every flight, every camp, every entry has been earned and paid privately. That ceiling is the only thing standing between him and the sport's biggest stages.

Backing Bassam is not charity — it's early access to a marketable young champion with a decade of brand association ahead of him, a clean and inspiring story, and a platform that already reaches global federations and youth movements.

01
A decade of runway

He's twelve. A partner today grows with him through juniors, seniors and — the goal — the Olympic pathway.

02
Brand-safe by design

An anti-trafficking ambassador and youth-leadership voice. Few young athletes carry a story this clean.

03
National-pride narrative

"The Sri Lankan boy who beat the world without backing." It's the kind of story media wants to tell.

04
Global federation reach

Active across IFMA, UTS and Mission 89 — visibility well beyond a single national circuit.
