French heavyweight Tony Yoka, absent from the rings since his loss to Martin Bakole last May, will face veteran Carlos Takam on March 11 in Paris. “ He is a very serious opponent, we will say that he is a gateway to the world top 10 said Yoka, 30, of his compatriot. Carlos Takam, 42 (39 wins, including 28 before the limit, 1 draw, 7 losses), remains on two defeats, one on points against the Russian Arslanbek Makhmudov last September, and a loss against the Englishman Joe Joyce by referee stoppage on the 6th round, in July 2021.
