Mohamed Younes Rabah views his featherweight Muay Thai clash with Shadow Singha Mawynn as his chance to enter the divisional rankings at ONE Fight Night 33.
'The Eagle' heads into this three-round co-main event joust inside Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium on July 11, with championship aspirations driving every single aspect of his preparation against the No.3-ranked featherweight Muay Thai contender.
"I think winning this fight will get me into the top five in the weight division. It will put me on the map in this division," Mohamed Younes Rabah told ONE Championship.

"Shadow got to third place in the rankings by beating Sitthichai [Sitsongpeenong]. So, I think if I beat him, I'll claim a place in the rankings. I also hope to get a title shot sometime soon."

The Team Mehdi Zatout athlete's hunger to crack the top five will undoubtedly give him extra motivation as he looks to make his mark on another massive fight card.
There should be plenty of tricky tests that await the young and aspiring star before he gets a chance to share the global stage with ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai.
However, if he can deliver more impressive performances as he did against Edide Abasolo and Saemapetch Fairtex, it shouldn't take too long for the Algerian standout to work his way to 26 pounds of gold.

Mohamed Younes Rabah's aggression will be crucial against Shadow
Mohamed Younes Rabah must put technicality aside when he locks horns against Shadow, who loves to turn every fight into a scrap and draw opponents into his knockout-loaded weapons.
A simple solution for the 28-year-old would be to match the Thai strike-for-strike and make sure he darts into enemy territory with finishing instincts.
Based on his two triumphs under the ONE Championship banner, the Algerian certainly has the ability to dent Shadow's seemingly uncrackable chin.
But he'll need to ensure he packs aggression to stand a better chance at securing the W at ONE Fight Night 33.
