YMT FIGHTER OF THE YEAR 2025: Marco Sanchez

Описание: This is what it looks like when the work pays off

10+ fights in 2025. Multiple tournaments. Multiple weight classes. Multiple championships

Marco made history as our school's first Canadian Muay Thai champion and earned Muay Thai Ontario's Fighter of the Year

But here's what people don't see: the 5 AM wake-ups to teach 6 AM classes before his own training. The 2-3 sessions a day. The attitude that never wavers.. always positive, always supporting the team, always showing up for everyone around him

10+ fights in a year means 10+ training camps. 10+ times putting everything on the line

It means early mornings when your body's screaming to stay in bed. Late nights replaying rounds in your head. Injuries you train through. Wins that feel incredible. Losses that hurt worse than any punch

And through all of it? You still have to live a "regular" life. Still have to work. Still have to pay bills. Still have to show up for everything else while your mind's on the next fight

Can you really call it regular when you're up at 5 AM to teach, training 2-3 times a day, and managing everything else life throws at you? That's not regular. That's sacrifice most people will never understand

Marco did all of it in 2025. Up in weight when the opportunity came. Down in weight when it made sense

This is what York Muay Thai does.. we build people. We celebrate their wins. We support their journey

We win together, we celebrate together, and we carry this culture forward together
