Mehdi Zatout was happy with his 2022 retirement. However, a new and unexpected challenge has him coming out for one night at ONE 166: Qatar. The Algerian striker will compete in a boxing match against Zuhayr Al-Qahtani at the ONE Championship event.
“To me, it’s amazing. When they announced it, I immediately informed my fighters [at Venum Training Camp] about it. But I never thought that I would be the one competing. It’s crazy that ONE will be in Qatar. To be part of ONE 166 is a dream for me. Knowing it’s an Arabic country, it’s also special for me,” Zatout told ONE.
