Amer Abdallah Expands Global Role in Boxing and Sports Business
LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / September 24, 2026 /Amer Abdallah, President of MF Pro Boxing, international sports advisor, and former undefeated world kickboxing champion, is continuing to expand his work across the global boxing and sports entertainment industry.
Based in Las Vegas, Abdallah has built a career that spans nearly every side of combat sports. His experience includes competing as an athlete, training fighters, operating a gym, promoting events, managing athletes, negotiating opportunities, and working in executive and advisory roles across international markets.
That broad background has increasingly led Abdallah into projects connecting American boxing with the growing sports and entertainment markets of the Middle East. His career has included boxing initiatives and business relationships across Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan, Libya, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States.
"Boxing has always been the most exciting and fan friendly combat sport in the world, but the opportunities around it are becoming more global than ever, " said Abdallah. "The goal is always to build opportunities in markets that are eager for the sport through the right relationships, create meaningful opportunities for athletes, and continue raising the level of what can be done in the sport. "
Abdallah 's path into sports business developed while he was still an active fighter. He founded Lace Up Promotions in 1999 and began promoting events, training athletes, and developing fighters before making his professional kickboxing debut in 2000, where he became the first fighter to promote themselves.
He later captured the WKA Cruiserweight World Championship in 2016 and retired from competition in 2018 with an undefeated 18-0 professional record, including 10 knockouts. By that point, however, his career had already expanded well beyond competition.
Abdallah has represented and worked with major names in combat sports, including Badou Jack, Mike Tyson, Roy Jones Jr., Caleb Plant, Deontay Wilder, Nico Ali Walsh, and KSI. His work with three-division world champion Badou Jack included management, negotiations, business opportunities, and the international development of Jack 's career, which has made him a star in the Middle East and amongst boxing fans globally.
For Abdallah, the expansion into international sports business is a natural continuation of a career that has consistently moved into new areas.
"I 've always believed that you have to keep challenging yourself and raising the bar, " Abdallah said. "Every year should be bigger and better than the last. That means taking on new ventures, expanding to new markets, learning from setbacks, and continuing to plan for goals that actually scare you. "
His international perspective is also rooted in his personal background. Abdallah was born in the Bronx, NY into a Jordanian family with roots in Jerusalem and later grew up in Lockport, New York. After high school, he attended Yarmouk University in Jordan and competed internationally, compiling an amateur record of 47-1.
That combination of American and Middle Eastern experience has become an important part of his work as boxing continues expanding into new global markets.
