MMA : Le Sénégalais Alboury décroche la ceinture des poids lourds de Gladiator au Japon
Senegal has a new champion in mixed martial arts (MMA). Having been based in Japan for several months, fighter Alboury continues his meteoric rise on the Japanese scene. On the night of Saturday, June 27th to Sunday, June 28th, 2026, he won the Gladiator organization's heavyweight title by defeating Brazilian Anderson Braddock.
The fight lasted only a few moments. From the opening bell, Alboury imposed his rhythm thanks to his solid background in wrestling, a discipline in which Senegalese athletes traditionally excel. He quickly managed to take his opponent to the ground before unleashing a series of powerful and precise strikes.
Faced with the intensity of the blows, the referee had no choice but to intervene and stop the fight. After only 1 minute and 36 seconds of the first round, scheduled to last four minutes, the Senegalese fighter was declared the winner by TKO (referee stoppage).
This victory allowed Alboury to capture the Gladiator heavyweight title, a well-known organization in the Japanese MMA scene. While not among the world's biggest promotions, Gladiator is often considered a true launching pad for fighters aspiring to reach top-tier organizations.
This recognition confirms the constant progress of the Senegalese player, who is establishing himself as one of the most promising African talents playing in Japan.
