Carlos Takam - Tony Yoka

42 year old heavyweight Carlos Takam (40-7-1, 28 KOs) won a split decision victory over the 2016 Olympic heavyweight champion Tony Yokoi (11-2, 9 KOs) in the main match of the evening at the Paris Zenith Arena. The constant pressure over the ten rounds gave Takamu a 96-94 lead on two judges' scorecards. The third judge somehow felt that Yoka was better than 96-94. For Yoka, this defeat was the second in a row after losing last May to Martin Bakola. Before the fight, Yoka was the undisputed favorite 6 to 1.
