Biography/Career

Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Mosab began most of his early career fighting at around the 61 kg mark on the local scene in the Netherlands and became one of the countries top prospects in the lower weight classes. He made the transition up in weight to 63.5 kg and made his first impact on the international Muay Thai scene by defeating the legendary Anuwat Kaewsamrit via technical knockout at a SLAMM!! event in 2008 to win his first major honour - the W.M.C. world title.[3]

He held on to his W.M.C. world belt for just seven months when he lost his first title defence against the highly decorated Andrei Kulebin at the Champions of Champions II event in Jamaica.[4] Mosab made up for this disappointment in the Autumn of 2009 when he beat one of the worlds top Muay Thai fighters, Bovy Sor Udomson, to win the W.M.C. intercontinental title, stopping him in the first round in an extremely impressive victory.[5]

Recently Mosab has made the move up to the 70 kg division where the competition is tougher but the riches are greater. He has so far shown himself to be a decent acquisition at this level with the It's Showtime organization, having beaten the experienced Chris van Venrooij and dropping a decision in what was a contender for 'fight of the year' against close friend Mohammed Khamal at the end of 2010.[6]

Amrani knocked out Liam Harrison with a liver punch in round one at Glory 5: London on March 23, 2012.[7][8][9][10]

He fought in the eight-man, 65 kg tournament at Glory 8: Tokyo - 2013 65kg Slam in Tokyo, Japan on May 3, 2013.[11][12][13] After outpointing Marcus Vinicius in the quarter-finals, he was defeated by Masaaki Noiri via unanimous decision in the semis.[14][15][16]

He defeated Yuta Kubo by unanimous decision at Glory 13: Tokyo - Welterweight World Championship Tournament in Tokyo, Japan on December 21, 2013.[17][18]

He defeated Lim Chi-bin at Qabala Fight Series #1 in Qabala, Azerbaijan on June 29, 2014, dropping the Korean with a knee to the body before finishing him a kick to the same spot shortly after.[19][20]
