Ten months after his first career defeat, the Olympic champion suffered another setback on points this Saturday evening at the Zenith in Paris. The world belt dream is moving away.
French heavyweight Tony Yoka was beaten on points by his compatriot Carlos Takam on Saturday night at the Zenith in Paris, suffering a second straight loss after his loss to Martin Bakole ten months ago.
Olympic champion in 2016 in Rio, Yoka bowed on a split decision of the judges. At 30, he now has eleven wins for two defeats and sees the rest of his professional career seriously compromised.
At Bercy, on May 14, Yoka was overtaken by the power of Congolese Martin Bakole after kneeling in the first round.
Saturday night at the Zenith, he could not find the fault against veteran Carlos Takam, 42. The Franco-Cameroonian boxer now has 40 wins for 7 losses and a draw.
