Self-proclaimed alpha male King Azoulay has announced he’s stepping back into the ring for an MMA bout, just weeks after his widely criticized boxing performance against Gypsy Crusader. Despite the loss and years of boasting about his martial arts prowess, Azoulay appears undeterred and more confident than ever.
According to sources, the fitness influencer took to Instagram to reveal his latest venture, declaring,
“This next match I just took, I can smash the guy. MMA match, baby. In a few weeks.” The announcement comes after his previous bout, which he now dismisses as a “pillow match.”
Azoulay defended himself by saying, “But this time around, it’s not going to be a pillow bout. The guy was scared. We smelled the fear on him running away all three rounds. Also, they switched up all the rules on me.”
Azoulay has been posting extensive training footage, asserting he’s working out three times daily while surviving on just four hours of sleep.
“If I could do all of these things, why can’t you? Why do I seem like I’m so much better than you?” he asked followers in one post. The 36-year-old has built his online persona around fitness dedication, luxury vehicles, and what he describes as an inspirational lifestyle.
In a particularly bold declaration, Azoulay stated, “I look at myself and I’m saying, I’m probably one of the best men out there to ever exist.” He attributes his self-perceived greatness to his willingness to train during hours when others sleep, claiming this work ethic separates him from what he calls “beta males.”
The transition to MMA raises questions about Azoulay’s grappling skills, which remain largely undemonstrated in his public content. His previous match was a boxing match with modified rules that reportedly eliminated Muay Thai techniques, elbows, knees, clinching, and ground combat. Now facing a full MMA ruleset, Azoulay will need to showcase abilities he’s never publicly displayed.
Critics have pointed to the disconnect between his confident rhetoric and actual performance. Before his last match, Azoulay made similar claims about intensive training. But he later suggested he hadn’t had adequate preparation time, citing only around 20 training sessions.
While Azoulay hasn’t yet revealed his opponent’s identity likely due to contractual restrictions, he’s maintaining his confrontational online presence.
