BRAVE 100 has its first confirmed bout, and it’s a huge battle for the interim welterweight championship.

The matchup will see European star and super-welterweight contender Alex “Da Killa King” Lohoré take on BRAVE CF legend, soon-to-be Hall of Famer and current BRAVE CF middleweight champion Mohammad “The Latest” Fakhreddine for the interim 175-pound world title in Bahrain on November 7.

The matchup, which will take place at Khalifa Sports City in Isa Town, will see Fakhreddine look to become a two-belt champion as he faces Lohoré, who has previously challenged for championship gold in the OKTAGON MMA and Cage Warriors promotions.

Fakhreddine will head into the bout on a three-fight win streak, with all three of those victories coming inside the distance.

Aftern an unsuccessful appearance at the start of the PFL’s 2023 season, “The Latest” bounced back with a second-round TKO of Italy’s Gianni Melillo at 971 FC 1 in May 2024. He then returned to BRAVE CF for the first time since 2022 and claimed another second-round finish as he stopped Abdel Rahmane Driai in December 2024. Most recently, Fakhreddine captured the BRAVE CF middleweight title with a stunning first-round knockout of Erko Jun at BRAVE CF 96 in June.

Now he’s set to face France’s Lohoré, who lives and trains out of London, England and has a wealth of experience that surpasses even Fakhreddine’s.

“Da Killa King” has 37 career fights to his name, with 26 wins, 14 knockouts and seven submissions on his resumé. Lohoré has fought for a plethora of the biggest promotions in Europe, and has faced a host of top names during that time.

Lohore hasn’t tasted defeat in the BRAVE CF cage, and has claimed statement knockout victories over former champion Marcin Bandel, Jivko Stoimenov and most recently, Mansur Abdurzakov.

Now he will go for gold again as he bids to capture a major title for the first time to put the crowning glory on a career that has spanned more than a decade.
