Ahavat Hashem Gordon Boxing: Undefeated Record Continues

Ahavat Hashem Gordon scored a major victory Monday evening in his first fight on Israeli soil, defeating Brazilian opponent John Lineker, who is considered one of the world's prominent combat sports figures, following a hard-fought contest.

The victory at Menora Arena allowed Gordon to preserve his undefeated record and extend his streak to 13:0. The matchup concluded a first-of-its-kind combat sports event held in Israel, which drew approximately 11,000 spectators to a sold-out venue.

Ahavat Hashem entered the arena accompanied by IDF soldiers wounded in the Swords of Iron War. His friend, singer Liam Golan, performed the song "Am Yisrael Chai" during his ring walk ahead of the main event against Lineker.

Victory in Tel Aviv

Gordon faced an experienced opponent, but managed to close the evening with another win to maintain his undefeated streak. The moment was especially significant as it marked his first time fighting in Israel before a local home crowd that filled Menora Arena.

Prior to the main event, his brother, Ruach Hashem Gordon, entered the ring for his own debut fight in Israel.

Ruach Hashem faced Maximus Begnota and, following a tough bout, defeated his opponent to add another victory for the Gordon family.

Emotional Ring Walks

Ruach Hashem entered the arena accompanied by bereaved families and the children of the late Col. Asaf Hamami. The special presence added emotional weight to his fight as part of an event that integrated sports with tributes to bereaved families and wounded soldiers.

Among the thousands of spectators in attendance were basketball player Deni Avdija, and Israeli sport-stars and celebrities.

However, the focal point of the evening remained Ahavat Hashem's closing fight against Lineker, which ended in the Israeli's 13th consecutive win.

At the conclusion of the evening, Ahavat Hashem Gordon exited the ring with his undefeated record intact, while his brother Ruach Hashem completed a successful night for the family with a victory of his own.
