Azize Hlali Lives Up to His ‘Magician’ Nickname

Azize Hlali gets ready for action

If you thought “The Magician” was simply Azize Hlali’s nickname, you have not seen his latest post on Instagram.

The French-born Moroccan recently posted a magical edit to his page, which showed just how ready he is to resume competitive action.

In his video, the Venum Training Camp representative steps into a room wearing a normal outfit before leaping toward a heavy bag.

Then, in a literal puff of smoke, he transforms into a competition-ready warrior on the other side of the bag. After a few strikes, “The Magician” smiles at the camera and gives it a warm embrace.

Of course, his next opponent may not be so lucky.

The two-time Muay Thai World Champion will be ready to use his sleight-of-hand mastery whenever he gets his next chance to compete in ONE Super Series.
