In Pont-Sainte-Maxence, France, Abdourahmane “The Lion” Ndiaye defeated Mohamed Zouaki to capture the World Boxing Council (WBC) Mediterranean Super Bantamweight title.
Ndiaye showed exactly why he is nicknamed “The Lion.” Throughout the rounds, the boxer exhibited a combination of power and tactical control, using his reach to keep Zouaki at bay while landing crisp and effective combinations. Ndiaye was the more consistent aggressor and the fighter who imposed his game plan from start to finish.
Zouaki attempted to pressure and exchange blows at close range in the middle rounds, looking for an opportunity to turn the score around, but Ndiaye’s defense and firm jab neutralized most of his attacks. The accumulated punishment and Ndiaye’s technical superiority over the 10 rounds were evident to the judges, who declared him the winner by unanimous decision.
This victory is an important milestone in the career of Abdourahmane Ndiaye. By securing a WBC-sanctioned title, “The Lion” is firmly positioned in the European and regional landscape, which will surely open the door to bigger challenges in the super bantamweight division.
