Kuwaiti fighter Mohamed Alhajri capped his sixth professional appearance in Thailand with a spinning back fist knockout, turning a long training camp into one of the sharpest wins of his developing professional career.
Kuwaiti Muay Thai fighter Mohamed Alhajri has claimed another professional victory in Thailand, stopping his Slovak opponent by knockout in the second round after landing a spinning back fist.
The result marked Alhajri’s sixth professional fight in Thailand and followed an extended preparation period split between Cookie Muay Thai Gym in Thailand and 8 Limbs Muay Thai Gym Kuwait. Alhajri announced the victory on his Instagram account, describing the result as the payoff for a lengthy camp and months of work.
“This was my 6th professional fight in Thailand, and I’m grateful to have finished the fight with a KO in the second round,” Alhajri wrote after the bout.
A finish worth remembering
The decisive moment came in round two. Alhajri found the opening for a spinning back fist and connected cleanly enough to end the contest, securing the knockout rather than leaving the outcome to the judges.
For a fighter still building his professional record abroad, the manner of the victory matters. Thailand remains the centre of competitive Muay Thai, and Alhajri has now returned to its rings six times as a professional. This latest appearance gave him more than another bout on that record. It gave him a finish that immediately separates itself from a routine decision victory.
Alhajri’s own reaction, however, focused less on the highlight and more on the preparation behind it. “After a long and intense preparation camp in Thailand between @cookiemuaythaigym and @8limbs.kw, all the hard work paid off and we got the result we worked for,” he wrote.
A team effort between Kuwait and Thailand
Alhajri reserved particular thanks for his coach, Captain Malallah, crediting him for his work throughout the camp in both Kuwait and Thailand. He also thanked Coach Rabee, Faisal Serry, the wider coaching team and Mohamed Alaq for their support around the fight.
The camp reflected the increasingly direct training connection available to Kuwaiti Muay Thai athletes. 8 Limbs describes its Kuwait operation as focused on Muay Thai training, while Cookie Muay Thai in Phuket offers dedicated fight preparation alongside its regular training programme.
One detail remains outside the public announcement: Alhajri identified his opponent as Slovak but did not name him in the post supplied for this report. That does not change the result. The confirmed headline from Alhajri’s account is a second-round knockout in his sixth professional appearance in Thailand, delivered with a spinning back fist.
Already preparing for the next one
Alhajri did not frame the victory as a finish line. His message after the fight was already looking forward.
“The work doesn’t stop here. We’re already back to work and preparing for the next fight,” he wrote.
For now, though, the latest result deserves its moment. A Kuwaiti fighter went back into a professional ring in Thailand, reached the second round and closed the contest himself. After a long camp between Kuwait and Thailand, Mohamed Alhajri came home with the result he had trained for: a knockout win, delivered in spectacular fashion.
