Darren Rolland (born 28 September 1998) is a French Muay Thai fighter who has been competing professionally since 2017. He is the current World Boxing Council Muaythai World Featherweight and former WBC Muaythai International Featherweight champion.[3]
He is the winner of the 2016 IFMA World Junior Championship and 2017 European Senior Championship.[4] He is the 2018 FFKMDA Featherweight Muay Thai champion.[5]
Martial arts career
He fought for the first major honor of his professional career in 2019, when he was set to for the WBC Muaythai International Featherweight title. His opponent was the future WBC Muaythai International Super Bantamweight title holder, Ryan Sheehan.[6] Rolland captured the title with a third round TKO.[7]
Rolland was scheduled to fight during Cadiz Fight Night 2, when he was set to face Carlos Coello for the vacant WBC Muaythai World Featherweight title.[8] It was a fight between the current and former WBC Muaythai International champions.[9] Rolland won the fight through a second round knockout.[10]
In late 2019 Rolland signed with ONE Championship. He was soon thereafter scheduled to fight Sam-A Gaiyanghadao during ONE Championship: Century Part 1.[11] While the first round of his fight with the former Lumpini Stadium champion was competitive, Sam-A took over the momentum in the second round. The Thai native scored an early knockdown and, two minutes into the fight, knocked Rolland down with a short left hook. Rolland failed to get up during the ten second countdown, and Sam-A won the fight through a second round KO.[12]
Following this loss, Rolland signed on with Yokkao to fight Dean James during Yokkao 48.[13] The fight fell through due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[citation needed]
Rolland was scheduled to participate in the Festival La Belle Equipe muay thai tournament, held on 8 December 2021. He was set to face Abdel Cherragi in the tournament semifinals.[14] He beat both Cherragi and Quentin Alhamdou in the finals in the same manner, by decision.[15]
