Tony Yoka (11-1, 9 KOs) turned out to be easier Carlos Takama (39-7-1, 28 KOs) at the official weigh-in ceremony before the boxing evening in Paris. Yoka weighed in at 113.9 kg and Takam at 117.6 kg.
For 30-year-old Yoki, this will be a return to the ring after last year's loss to Martin Bakole. The Frenchman, who is under contract with Top Rank, suffered his first defeat in the professional ring in May.
Takam fought for the last time in September, losing on points to Arslanbek Makhmudov. Earlier, the 42-year-old athlete lost ahead of schedule to Joe Joyce.
