Doha - Young Moroccan kickboxer Ambar Tesoudali secured the youth championship title in the 46kg category at the International Fight Promotion (IFP) event in Germany today.
The 13-year-old athlete from Borgerhout, Belgium, continues to prove herself as one of the most promising talents in her division.
The Moroccan phenom’s journey has been elevated by unprecedented support from prominent figures in the combat sports world, including legendary kickboxers Ernesto Hoost, who has dubbed her the “queen of the ring,” and Andy Sauwer.
The young champion has also caught the attention of film directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, known for “Bad Boys” and “Patsers,” with Tesoudali set to appear in the latter production alongside acclaimed actor Said Boumazoughe, known for his roles as Ashraf in “Mocro Maffia” and Volt in “Patsers.”
Beginning her martial arts journey at age five with taekwondo, Tesoudali transitioned to kickboxing at eight years old, where she discovered her true calling.
In a previous interview with Morocco World News (MWN), despite her athletic achievements, she maintains a balanced approach to her future, expressing aspirations to become a doctor—a goal actively supported by her parents who emphasize the importance of academic success alongside athletic pursuits.
The championship event was hosted by IFP, an organization dedicated to presenting combat sports at the highest international level.
The promotion, which broadcasts its events to 40 countries globally, provides fighters with a professional platform featuring state-of-the-art facilities, including modern lighting and sound systems, permanent seating, and a VIP area. IFP, under the management of Dimitrios, has established itself as a significant player in international combat sports, placing fighters in various prestigious events across Poland, Serbia, Holland, Romania, and China.
The organization supports athletes through sponsored training camps and development seminars abroad, focusing on long-term athlete development and preparation for competition.
Tesoudali has already demonstrated exceptional dedication to her sport, working extensively with her coaches and teammates.
Her recent championship victory adds to her growing reputation in Belgian combat sports, where she is recognized as one of the leading talents in her category.
