Tarik Khbabez: The Knock‑Out Polish from Morocco‑Netherlands

He wants to climb the ladder, grab twin crowns (light‑heavyweight & heavyweight) and leave a legacy for his little pony.
From Macau to Yangon: The Road to Glory
- Macau Magic: In ONE: Pinnacle of Power, Tarik rolled up Alain Ngalani in a single round, ringing the bell to confirm he belongs with the elite.
- Yangon Showdown: Now, in ONE: Pursuit of Greatness, he’s lined up against compatriot Ibrahim “Mr. Cool” El Bouni—tread carefully, he says: “Only one of us can be the best, and that’s me.”
Why Winning in Myanmar Matters

Getter‑Grit Extraction: The One‑Year Hiatus
Krub Yug‑yung athleticism. He admits, “I had a hand injury, was out for almost a year, and when I fought Alain, I was heavy and a tad slow.” But he didn’t just win; he knocked him out—his 27th professional finisher.
We’re Just Another Rumble, Says Khbabez
El Bouni, the A1WCC champ who buried the “Giant” Meunier in July, will face Khbabez. “We’ve met. He’s not special for me. He’s just another opponent I must beat.” The kicker: “Can’t be fooled, only one winner exists—and it’s me.”
Future Crunch: Dual Titles & Family Pride
With eyes on both heavyweight and light‑heavyweight crowns, Tarik is not only fighting for personal glory but also to inspire his son: “I want my little boy to look up and know his dad was the champ.”
