In the sixth round, Cieslak hit his opponent with a left hook, but the former cruiserweight world champion took it without a wink. It was clear, however, that Kalenga is more and more devastated, and that with every next minute he has less and less desire to continue.

The Frenchman, however, already had enough and when the bell sounded announcing the beginning of the eighth round, he decided to stay in his corner.
