Moroccan Fighter Wail Karroumi Makes ONE Championship Debut in Bangkok Bout

Friday 18 August 2023, by Said

This Friday, during the 29th edition of "ONE Friday Fights", Wail Karroumi, a former Moroccan fighter from the Dutch martial arts organization Enfusion, is making his first steps in the competition.

The fight will take place at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, where Karroumi will face the Russian Elbrus Osmanov in the bantamweight category. It should be noted that the Moroccan has recently trained at the Tiger Muay Thai in Thailand.

Osmanov, 22 years old, is not a novice in ONE Championship: he has already won two victories, including one against Paedsanlek PK Saenchai by KO. Karroumi joins the list of Moroccan fighters who have participated in "ONE Friday Fights". Previously, Ilias Ennahachi had won, while Mohammed Boutasaa and Mohammed Hanoun had encountered some difficulties.

For martial arts fans, "ONE Friday Fights" is broadcast every Friday afternoon, starting at 1:30 p.m. Moroccan time, on BeIN Sports for the MENA region. In addition to kickboxing fights, ONE Championship offers Muay Thai, Mixed Martial Arts, and Grappling confrontations. Among the Moroccan talents highlighted, we can mention Joseph Lasiri, the current ONE Strawweight Muay Thai champion.
