What’s on one Friday fights 126 for Ilias Ennahachi and Nabil Anane
The matchup embodies the classic veteran-Versus front view story. Nabil Anane, who is 6’2 ″ is only 20 years old, represents the emerging generation of Bantam weight. He has already built up a reputation in Muay Thai, capturing a WBC world title at the age of 17 and rises by someone’s bantam weight ranks with aggressive, Rangy striking.
Ennahachi brings proven championship DNA. He conquered one flying weight kickboxing world title in 2019 and stopped Podchdam Petchyindee Academy by Knockout and then defended the belt against Elite -Dayers Wang Genseng and Superlek Kiatmuu9. Eventually he left the title to struggle with the requirements of the flight weight hydration system and chose instead to go to Bantamweight.
Ennahachi now works on a heavier weight and remains a tactical puzzle. He controls the pace with precision -in work, disrupts rhythm with patient counters and benefits from the smallest defensive. Against the youth of Anane and six-inch range, those weapons are becoming even more critical.

“I am really grateful to the fans in Europe and Asia for their confidence and support,” said Ennahachi. “And I promise I won’t let them down during the fight.”
A promise that includes continents
