I am organising this fundraiser on behalf of my friend Soufiane after he suffered a serious knee injury in October 2025 during ONE Friday Fights 129.

Medical scans confirmed a torn ACL and meniscus damage. Without surgical treatment, this is a career-ending injury for a professional fighter.

Since the injury, he has been unable to train or compete. For a professional athlete, that means no income and no path forward in the sport.

The estimated cost of surgery at Samitivej Thonburi Hospital in Bangkok is 279,100 THB (approximately £6,600). In addition, several months of structured rehabilitation and physiotherapy will be required for him to return safely to competition.

Soufiane is 24 years old and at a critical stage in his professional career. An injury of this severity requires timely surgical treatment.

This fundraiser is to cover:

• ACL reconstruction surgery

• Hospital fees and medical costs

• Post-operative rehabilitation and physiotherapy

With proper treatment and recovery, he has a clear medical path back to fighting. Without it, he cannot return to professional competition.

Any contribution helps move him toward surgery and back to training.

Thank you for your support.
