French phenom Barnaoui is another tournament veteran. The buoyant teenager is the current lightweight champion for French promotion 100% Fight. To win the title, the top student of boxing coach Aziz Mahi had to go through two tournaments. At 100% Fight “Contenders 10” in February, he choked out three opponents in a single night. Three months later, he added another two wins, including a technical knockout of pre-tournament favorite Julien Boussuge. Besides his stout hands, the young Frenchman is a physically and technically strong grappler with surprising serenity for his age.
