On a historic night in Almeria, Spain, amidst a vibrant and packed crowd, Moroccan boxing star Moussa Gholam once again stole the spotlight, securing a spectacular knockout victory over Argentine Maximiliano Veron in a pivotal bout on his path to a world title.
The award ceremony featured a special moment with the presence of international superstar and Moroccan football legend Achraf Hakimi, who showed his support from ringside — a powerful image reflecting the unity among Moroccan champions across sports.
The gala event was presided over by WBA President Gilberto Mendoza, with several boxing luminaries in attendance, including Alfredo Evangelista, Jennifer Miranda, John Fernandez, and famous actor Alvaro Cervantes.
From the very first round, Gholam dominated the fight, stepping forward with confidence and controlling the action. He pressured his opponent smartly, landing a series of powerful and precise punches that shook Veron and threw him off balance. As the crowd erupted in applause, Moussa delivered a devastating right hand that sent Veron crashing to the canvas.
Round after round, Gholam maintained his heroic performance, giving Veron no breathing room. A vicious left hand at the end of round four nearly knocked the Argentine out, and by round six, Moussa sealed the deal with two consecutive knockdowns, forcing the referee to stop the fight for Veron’s safety.
With this resounding victory, Moussa Gholam continues to climb the global rankings, firmly setting his sights on world glory. A title shot now seems closer than ever.
