It is expected that in October Tony Yoka (11-1, 9 KOs) will hold his next professional fight in the USA. This will be the 30-year-old heavyweight boxer's first fight in front of an American audience.

In the last professional performance, the Frenchman lost on points to Martin Bacola in Paris. Yoka announced that after this defeat he did not intend to change the composition of his coaches, but admitted that he entered the fight not in the best shape.

Yoka, among others, already has victories over opponents such as Petar Milas, Christian Hammer and Joan Duapa, among others. It is not yet known who will be the October rival of the 2016 Olympic champion in Rio.
