Kickboxing career

El Boustati made his debut in 2014 with Enfusion, aged 18, when he faced Ali Sabab. He won by TKO, after the ringside doctor stopped the fight.

After his debut, Ibrahim won his next six fights, earning a chance to fight for the Enfusion 85 kg title. He won the fight by knockout, winning his first career title.[10]

He went on another winning streak, winning his next five fights, two by TKO. He would once again fight for the 85 kg title, when he faced Mirco Cingel.[11] He won the fight by unanimous decision.

Afterwards, he beat Filip Verlinden.[12] He then fought against Andrew Tate for the 90 kg title.[13] He won the fight by knockout.

El Boustati lost to Ulrik Bokeme in his next fight, before winning a unanimous decision against Filip Verlinden[14] to win the 95 kg title.[15]

His next five fights would be the worst stretch of his career, losing three of his next five, all by knockout.

El Boustati was scheduled to fight Francis Goma at -95 kg during Enfusion 97.[16]
