Chantal Ughi (born December 17, 1981) is an Italian and American female kickboxer, actress and multiple Muay Thai champion.
Ughi started training Muay Thai in New York aged 20, and in January 2008 left her acting career in the United States to become a full-time Muay Thai fighter in Thailand. She has since spoken out about the difficulties of being a female in a sport run by men, as well as her experiences of traveling to Thailand alone as a girl to train and compete in Muay Thai. Chantal Ughi is a seven-time world champion in the sport.
In 2014, Ughi returned to Italy to resume her acting career and was the subject matter and lead actress in the 2015 documentary Goodbye Darling I'm Off to Fight! (original in Italian: Ciao amore vado a combattere!), directed by Simone Manetti and produced by Alfredo Covelli, where she played herself.
