Moroccan fighter Oussama Assli made history on December 5 in Miami, becoming the Karate Combat World Champion in the 77 kg Welterweight division and claiming the Golden Belt after a grueling five-round battle against Australia's James «Sweet as» Honey, a two-time world champion. Assli's triumph crowns a remarkable run of five consecutive victories within the organization, bringing his professional record to 21 wins and only 2 losses. He is now the first Moroccan to secure this prestigious title on the global stage. «I dedicate this win to His Majesty King Mohammed VI and to all Moroccans from Tangier to Lagouira», Assli said after the fight, expressing pride in raising the national flag in one of the world's top martial arts competitions.
