French Olympic gold medalist Tony Yoka will return in a 10-round main event this Saturday, March 11, against former world title challenger Carlos Takam at Zenith Paris in Paris, France. Yoka-Takam and undercard bouts will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+.
Yoka (11-1, 9 KOs) is coming off a majority decision loss to Martin Bakole last May. Gatekeeper Takam recently ended Arslanbek Makhmudov’s knockout streak by forcing him to go 10 rounds for the first time. He has lost two straight.
I expect Yoka to win a (probably uneventful) decision, but I wouldn’t be completely shocked if Takam caught him with something crazy and got the win.
Carlos Takam – perennial gatekeeper. Good luck to him
carlos takam /hes got to e a prime candidate 4 the bridgerweight
Takam is always in shape even though he is 42 y old already. Recon Yoka will have his running shoes on and use his height and reach and win by a wide margin on points. Am hoping Takam proves me wrong.
