In a nation that reveres soccer, Chinese martial art is ignored, Agence France-presse reports.

Egypt's Moataz Radi - aka "Mizo" - competes successfully with China's top kung fu fighters in international championships, but yearns for recognition in his own country, where soccer dominates the sports pages.

As Egyptians obsessively follow the preparations of the national soccer team for the World Cup in Russia and every move of star striker Mohamed Salah at Liverpool, Mizo is preparing for the next world championship in a sport that lacks sponsors and fans.
