Early life

Kickboxing career

Ilias was scheduled to fight Ali Zoubai for the Enfusion -60kg title in May 2016.[7] Ennahachi won the bout by unanimous decision.[8] Ennahachi defended his title five months later, during Enfusion Live 42, against Cristofer Opazos. He won by a first round TKO.[9]

He challenged Hikaru Machida for the BLADE 61 kg title during Rebels 47.[10][11] Ilias defeated Machida by unanimous decision.[12]

Following his successful title bid, Ennahachi fought twice in China. He lost to Zhao Chongyang by KO, after only 32 seconds, and lost a decision to Wang Wenfeng.[13]

He defended his Enfusion title for the second time with a TKO win over Krobsut Fairtex.[14]

Ilias participated in the 2018 WFL 63 kg tournament.[15] Ennahachi knocked Cătălin Eduard out with a head kick in the semifinals, and won a decision against Issam Laazibi in the finals.[16]

Ennahachi defended his Enfusion title for the third time with a second round TKO win over Madani Belhaddad at Enfusion 82.[17]

In June 2019, Ilias signed a two-year contract with the ONE Championship organization.[18]

After signing with ONE, he was immediately granted a title shot against Petchdam Petchyindee Academy for the ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Championship.[19][20] On August 16, 2019, Ennahachi knocked Petchdam out in the third round at ONE Championship: Dreams of Gold.[21][22]

On November 21, 2019, he defended his title against Wang Wenfeng at ONE Championship: Age Of Dragons.[23] Ilias won a split decision.[24][25]
