Originally scheduled for January 15, a promising heavyweight bout between Tony Yokoi (11-0, 9 KOs) and Martin Bakole (17-1, 13 KOs) rescheduled for March 14. The fight was canceled due to new restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic in France.
The duel will be the main event of the boxing evening in Paris. Yoka recently received an offer to fight Filip Hrgovic as an IBF eliminator, but due to his contractual obligations to fight Bakole, he could not agree to this fight.
Initially, on this day, the Frenchman was going to cross gloves with Carlos Takam, but the latter refused to participate due to a wrist injury. Yoka, who holds high positions in the IBF, WBC and WBO ratings, had two victorious fights last year.
