Built by a boxer.
Built to conquer.

The fight found him.

Mo was born in London. Marrakesh found him later. What was meant to be a stop became the rest of the story — a city he walked into one day and never walked out of.

In a Marrakesh gym he met Rachid Jkitou — undefeated professional, WBF World Light Heavyweight Champion, French Super Middleweight Champion, WBC Mediterranean Champion. Rachid saw something Mo had not yet seen in himself. He told him to turn professional. Mo did not arrive in Morocco intending to fight. The fight found him.

That was years ago. Mo has not left since. Today Rachid is his head coach, his manager, and his mentor — guiding the boxing career that started by accident and turned into a calling. The decision to build Monarc from Morocco is not a marketing choice. It is where his coach is. It is where his career is. It is where the sport runs through everything.

Mo has now halted his professional boxing career to build Monarc Pulse — with the intent to launch both in parallel. When the company opens its doors in July 2026, he steps back into the ring. Two careers. One discipline. Built side by side.

Morocco is not just where this began. Morocco is one of the most welcoming countries in the world — a place whose deep warmth and hospitality is felt the moment you arrive. That generosity shaped Mo. It shaped the company. It is why Monarc Pulse launches here first. Not because it is convenient. Because it is right.

Inside that gym — and across the gyms he visited training and travelling for fights — Mo watched something simple. The wearables on every fighter's wrist were not built for them. Whoop is built for general fitness. Apple Watch tracks anything generic. Oura optimises sleep. None of them understood what a sparring round actually does to a body. None of them spoke the language a fighter speaks. The data was there. The intelligence was missing.

“Mo did not arrive in Morocco intending to fight. The fight found him.”

Combat sports is a global community of millions — boxers, MMA fighters, kickboxers, Muay Thai practitioners, BJJ athletes, mixed-discipline fighters. Together they represent one of the largest underserved athletic communities in the world. Monarc was started to change that. Not as a niche product. As a global platform with the ambition to become the standard combat sports health technology — from a fighter's first sparring session to a world title.

And the same intelligence — the same wearable, the same AI architecture — extends to everyone else serious about their body. The runner. The lifter. The parent trying to sleep deeper, recover faster, hold their energy through the week. Daily life is the longest fight there is. Monarc is built to support both.

“The data was there. The intelligence was missing.”
