Professional career

edit

Belbouli turned pro in 1982 and won the vacant WBA cruiserweight title with a TKO win over Michael Greer in March 1989 in Morocco. He vacated the title six months later, never defending it, but tried to regain it in November 1990 when he fought his successor as champion, Robert Daniels. He announced his retirement after the bout, which finished a draw.
