Timeline

1987

Ilya Grad (born June 22, 1987) is an Israeli Muay Thai boxing champion.

His current professional record stands at 35-13 (16 KOs).

2009

During the 2009 kick boxing championships in Bangkok, Grad met fellow kick boxer and Iranian kick boxing team captain Mostafa Abdollahi.

Despite the political discourse between the respective countries, the two quickly became friends, began training together and acted as corner-men for each other.

A Muay Thai Federation website published the story but removed it after Iranian protests.

2010

In 2010 he was considered one of the eight best amateur Muai Thai boxers in the world.

2011

In 2011, Grad became the first Israeli boxer to legally enter Malaysia after being invited to participate in the AXN Asia reality show, "The Challenger Muaythai" featuring various Muay Thai fighters from different countries.

Malaysia, a predominantly Muslim nation, officially bans Israelis from entering the country.

When he arrived at Kuala Lumpur airport, Grad was detained for 25 hours, but was finally allowed to enter the country following the intervention of the Malaysian Minister of Sports.

During his first bout, the show’s producers asked him to carry the Russian flag after his place of birth.

He refused and stated that he would rather return home, after which the producers allowed him to proceed with the Israeli flag.

When he entered the ring, the local audience booed him.

He was matched against French fighter, Antoine Pinto but lost in a split decision.

The two Malaysian judges voted against Grad while the Thai judge voted in his favor.

Grad believed he had won the fight as did his corner-men and believed that politics played a role in the decision making process.

"I threw an upper elbow to meet his movement and cut him over the eyebrow. As I saw the blood pouring down his face I rushed forward and in the clinch I used big elbows and saw a big lump growing slowly over his forehead. The round was totally mine and my strategy proved to be effective. For the rest of the fight I claimed the center of the ring and Antoine was mostly on the ropes, working the middle kicks. The fight was close, but not hard. I was never physically hurt, I never lost my power and I was never on the ropes on the defensive side. I felt in control throughout the entire match."

After the fight, Grad was approached by audience members who apologized for jeering him and informed him that they thought he had won the fight.

2012

In February 2012, Grad won the WCK international title in China, In January 2013 the I-1 WMC world professional title in Hong Kong and in April WMC title in Singapore.

Grad also made history by being the first known Israeli fighter to enter Malaysia under his Israeli passport.

Grad attributes much of his success to martial arts claiming that it led him away from the self-destructive path of bar fights in Jerusalem.

He goes by the fight name “Achilles” in part, because of his fondness for Greek mythology and good looks.

In April 2012, Shalom Life ranked him Number 1 on its list of “the 50 most talented, intelligent, funny, and gorgeous Jewish men in the world.”
