Ilias Ennahachi (born May 15, 1996) is a Moroccan-Dutch kickboxing athlete and former ONE Kickboxing Flyweight World Champion, a title he held from August 16, 2019, until relinquishing it on January 3, 2023, due to hydration complications. Additionally, he has been the holder of the Enfusion 60 kg and BLADE 61 kg belts.

By November 2021, Combat Press positioned him as the world's #4 bantamweight. Earlier, he was ranked #2 in the super bantamweight division from September 2020 through July 2021 and consistently appeared in the bantamweight top ten rankings between May 2019 and August 2020.

Early life

Born and raised in the Netherlands by Moroccan parents, Ennahachi was inspired by his father and uncle’s karate background and his cousins’ involvement in kickboxing. He commenced kickboxing training at age 11 and participated in his first fight just two months afterward.

Early career

In May 2016, Ennahachi captured the Enfusion -60 kg championship by unanimous decision over Ali Zoubai. Five months later, at Enfusion Live 42, he successfully defended this title with a first-round TKO against Cristofer Opazos.

He then challenged Hikaru Machida for the BLADE 61 kg crown at Rebels 47, securing victory via unanimous decision. Following these achievements, Ennahachi competed twice in China, experiencing a knockout defeat to Zhao Chongyang and a decision loss to Wang Wenfeng.

Ennahachi retained his Enfusion belt once more by defeating Krobsut Fairtex through TKO. In 2018, he took part in the WFL 63 kg tournament, knocking out Cătălin Eduard in the semifinals and winning a decision against Issam Laazibi in the final bout.

His third successful defense of the Enfusion title came with a second-round TKO over Madani Belhaddad at Enfusion 82.

ONE Flyweight Kickboxing champion

In June 2019, Ennahachi inked a two-year deal with ONE Championship and was immediately slated for a title match against Petchdam Petchyindee Academy for the ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Championship. On August 16, 2019, at ONE Championship: Dreams of Gold, he secured a third-round knockout over Petchdam.

He defended his title on November 21, 2019, against Wang Wenfeng at ONE Championship: Age Of Dragons, winning via split decision.

On February 26, 2021, at ONE Championship: Fists Of Fury, Ennahachi retained his belt against Superlek Kiatmuu9 by a unanimous decision that sparked controversy. Due to disputes surrounding the result, an immediate rematch was arranged.

The rematch was scheduled for January 14, 2023, at ONE on Prime Video 6, but Ennahachi withdrew after failing to meet the flyweight limit of 135 pounds while properly hydrated and subsequently vacated his championship. Superlek was then set to compete against Daniel Puertas for the vacant title.

Move to bantamweight

Ennahachi made his bantamweight debut facing Aliasghar Ghodratisaraskan at ONE Friday Fights 6 on February 24, 2023, achieving a knockout victory in the second round. Later, on September 27, 2024, at ONE Friday Fights 81, he defeated Hiroki Akimoto by unanimous decision.

He was scheduled to meet Petchtanong Petchfergus on February 20, 2025, at ONE 171, but the fight was canceled after Ennahachi missed weight by more than five pounds and was deemed medically unfit to compete.
