About Mehdi Zatout
ISKA and WBC World Champion Mehdi Zatout’s passion for Muay Thai was first ignited when he was 10 years old. He was hooked instantly, and just two years later, his dedication to “the art of eight limbs” brought him to the renowned Sit-Or camp in Pattaya, Thailand.
Over the course of a highly successful career spanning more than 20 years, Zatout went on to travel to Thailand more than 50 times to train and compete, amassing over 100 competitive bouts under kickboxing and Muay Thai rules. Along the way, he made a name for himself in the ring facing international superstars the likes of Saenchai, Sagetdao Petpayathai, and Fabio Pinca.
After winning two national titles in France, a European championship, and two World Titles, the man they call “Diamond Heart” then found himself among the world’s best strikers in ONE Championship.
Living and sharpening his skills full-time out of the Venum Training Camp in Thailand, he has been a staple of the bantamweight striking divisions since 2018.
Zatout now returns to action after a brief retirement to take on Saudi Arabian promotional newcomer Zuhayr Al-Qahtani in a 147-pound catchweight boxing bout at the historic ONE 166: Qatar on Friday, March 1, in a bout that promises fireworks from bell to bell.
