Rabat – Moroccan-Belgian kickboxing star Ambar Tesoudali claimed victory in Belgium today after winning the IFP Youth Title in the 46kg category after defeating Turkish Erva Meryem Eren at Limburghal Genk.
The young athlete showed great skill and determination throughout the fight and secured an important win in her career.
The 13-year-old Moroccan-Belgian kickboxing prodigy showcased her exceptional skills during this fight, adding to her growing reputation in the world of combat sports.
After her victory, Tesoudali was overwhelmed with emotion and cried tears of joy. The International Fight Promotion (IFP) celebrated her achievement, saying, “Pure joy! Our new IFP Youth Champion Ambar Tesaoudali from the Jlaydys Gym.”
Tesoudali’s martial arts journey began at the age of five with taekwondo, and by eight, she transitioned to kickboxing.
Her dedication and talent have earned her recognition from renowned figures in the sport, including legendary kickboxers Ernesto Hoost, who dubbed her the “queen of the ring,” and Andy Sauwer.
In December 2024, she secured the youth championship title in the 46kg category at the International Fight Promotion (IFP) event in Germany, which further solidified her status as a rising star in the kickboxing community.
Beyond her athletic achievements, Tesoudali has ventured into the world of cinema. She made her debut in the film “Patsers 2,” directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, known for their work on “Bad Boys for Life.”
The young fighter contributed to production through her boxing expertise and served as a stand-in for actress Nora Gharib. The film premiered in Antwerp in February 2025.
Despite her burgeoning career in combat sports and film, Tesoudali remains focused on her education, she revealed during an interview with Morocco World News. She aspires to become a doctor, a goal actively supported by her parents who emphasize the importance of academic success alongside athletic pursuits.
