Ilias Ennahachi (born May 15, 1996) is a Dutch-Moroccan kickboxer currently signed to ONE Championship. He is the reigning ONE Kickboxing Flyweight World Champion, having won the title on August 16, 2019, the former Enfusion 60 kg champion, and the former BLADE 61 kg champion.

As of November 2021, Combat Press ranks him as the #4 bantamweight in the world.[3] Combat Press ranked him as the #2 super bantamweight between September 2020 and July 2021.[4][5] He was previously ranked in the bantamweight top ten by Combat Press from May 2019[6] until August 2020.[7]

Early life

Ennahachi was born and raised in the Netherlands by parents who were originally from Morocco. His dad and uncle practiced karate, and his cousins practiced kickboxing. At his father's urging, Ennahachi started training in kickboxing at age 11 and had his first match two months later.[8]

Kickboxing career

Ilias was scheduled to fight Ali Zoubai for the Enfusion -60kg title in May 2016.[9] Ennahachi won the bout by unanimous decision.[10] Ennahachi defended his title five months later, during Enfusion Live 42, against Cristofer Opazos. He won by a first round TKO.[11]

He challenged Hikaru Machida for the BLADE 61 kg title during Rebels 47.[12][13] Ilias defeated Machida by unanimous decision.[14]

Following his successful title bid, Ennahachi fought twice in China. He lost to Zhao Chongyang by KO, after only 32 seconds, and lost a decision to Wang Wenfeng.[15]

He defended his Enfusion title for the second time with a TKO win over Krobsut Fairtex.[16]

Ilias participated in the 2018 WFL 63 kg tournament.[17] Ennahachi knocked Cătălin Eduard out with a head kick in the semifinals, and won a decision against Issam Laazibi in the finals.[18]

Ennahachi defended his Enfusion title for the third time with a second round TKO win over Madani Belhaddad at Enfusion 82.[19]

ONE Championship

In June 2019, Ilias signed a two-year contract with the ONE Championship organization.[20]

After signing with ONE, he was immediately granted a title shot against Petchdam Petchyindee Academy for the ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Championship.[21][22] On August 16, 2019, Ennahachi knocked Petchdam out in the third round at ONE Championship: Dreams of Gold.[23][24]

On November 21, 2019, he defended his title against Wang Wenfeng at ONE Championship: Age Of Dragons.[25] Ilias won a split decision.[26][27]

Ennahachi is scheduled to defend his title against Superlek Kiatmuu9 at ONE Championship: Fists Of Fury on February 26, 2021.[28] Ennahachi won by a controversial unanimous decision.[29]
