IOC: Mediterranean games without savate?

Is savate Mediterranean sport? YES OF COURSE. THE MOST TYPICAL OF ALL fighting sports. But why we don't see savate - boxe francaise on Mediterranean games?
Karate was part of these games and wu-shu kung fu (was there enough Chinese influence in Mediterranean culture and sports last centuries?).

23 countries (near Mediterranean see)(San Marino, Monaco, Malta, Cyprus, Andorra...)

28 sports - (fighting: karate, judo, boxing, wrestling)

HISTORY: Richard Sylla (France) Vs Lucien Carbin (Netherland)

Legendary fight where by my opinion the best savate fighter of all times Richard Sylla represented true savate during all fight with his woody opponent Carbin. This was the fight beetwen savate - boxe francaise and new composed and to Europe imported and newly created Muay thai sport. Lucien now prepares MMA and K1 fighters and Sylla is still in love with savate. Hat off to Richard. Real savate hero. If there would be a savate museum of all boxe francaise legends there will certainly be a great place for a fighter who gave everything to our sport savate Richard Sylla.
