On Oct. 3, 2025, Leander Michiels showed what he is made of by winning his fight over three rounds on points.

However, Leander Michiels showed resilience and did not let himself be intimidated; he refused to be pushed back.
Although Leander did not show his full potential, his dominance in the ring was evident. He controlled the fight and managed to strike out hard at crucial moments, surprising and pressuring his opponent. His technique was impressive; he displayed beautiful combinations and made effective use of his knees and high kicks, proving to be a versatile and dangerous opponent.

On the other end of the spectrum, Team Heresh presented a new face, Mohamed Alizada, who made his debut in the ring.
Expectations were high, and Mohamed didn’t let grass grow over it. He showed himself to be a “killer” in the ring, an unrelenting fighter who seemed intent on mercilessly punishing his opponent from start to finish. His aggressive style and relentless approach made a deep impression on the audience. One could compare him to a werewolf who stalks and attacks his prey without any hesitation or hesitation. The outcome of this fight was for Mohamed!
