FROM DREAM TO REALITY

Moroccan MMA hopeful Anas Kamal, 23, dedicates his life to the martial arts. In London, where he is now based, the young man has optimized his entire working environment and intends to transfer this to the HEXAGONE MMA cage on October 28 in Alkmaar.

Ever since he was a teenager, Anas Kamal has had just one dream: “to become a professional fighter and perform in the biggest organizations”. From his first kickboxing lessons at the age of 12 to his promising MMA start, the young man has done everything in his power to achieve his goal, and today focuses “100%” on martial arts. “I teach a few boxing and wrestling classes for kids, so I can be at the gym every day and have plenty of time to train. An optimized schedule, designed with the aim of spending as much time as possible on the tatamis of Great Britain’s Top Team, the English reference in MMA. “It’s the ideal place for any professional fighter. As there are a lot of UFC or Bellator athletes, the environment is particularly competitive.”

“I have no other passion than MMA”

At 23, Anas Kamal is aware of all the sacrifices required by the top level. But he accepts them with ease. “I have no other passion than MMA. I do everything to progress, to perform, and to provide for my family.” And although there’s still a long way to go, the young of Moroccan origin already has a promising record, having won 3 of his 4 career bouts by first-round knockout. “I come from kickboxing, I did around twenty amateur fights in this discipline, but nevertheless, I have a very all-round profile. I’m dangerous everywhere, whatever area my opponent is looking for!”
