He returned to winning ways with a KO win over Fikri Ameziane on 25 January 2014 at Enfusion Live 13 – Eindhoven, Netherlands. They pummeled each other at the center of the ring early in the first round. Trading continued in the second when a short right to the jaw of Ameziane made judge to count. Douwes finished the fight in the third round at 2:55 with a right hand that caught Ameziane as he came forward. [5]
