Key Factors to Consider

- No recorded previous fights between Abdalrahman Alhyasat and Taha Bendaoud, making this their first professional encounter.
- Alhyasat recovered from a prior injury that forced him out of last season's final; currently reported as fully healthy and ready. No reported injuries for Bendaoud.
- The fight takes place at Onyx Arena in Jeddah with home region advantage for Alhyasat being from Jordan, regionally closer and possibly with more fan support; the tournament setting heightens the stakes for both fighters.
- Alhyasat is motivated by redemption and the chance to claim a title he almost secured last season. Bendaoud appears motivated to prove himself against a top contender and advance in the tournament.
