If Not Now, When? — Ilir Maksuti’s Journey to Thailand

From Switzerland to Thailand, Ilir Maksuti is taking the next step towards his dream of becoming a professional Muay Thai fighter. Before his departure, Lienhard VIII sat down with him to talk about ambition, discipline, and the courage to pursue what matters.

His first visit to Thailand left a lasting impression. The lifestyle, the training, and being surrounded by people with the same goals made him realise where he wanted to be. Now, he is ready to commit fully to his dream.

For Ilir, there is no perfect moment to start. Life will always bring new responsibilities and reasons to wait. Sometimes, you simply have to take the first step.

His goal in Thailand is to develop as a fighter, gain valuable fight experience, and improve every day. He knows the journey will be intense, but he is ready for the challenges ahead.

His message to anyone pursuing a dream is simple:

“If you've never tried, you've already failed.”
