Hot evening at the Roland-Garros central. Like Tony Yoka, who will also be showing that evening, Souleymane Cissokho will fight in the temple of French tennis on September 10, against Russian Sergey Lubkovitch.
The French boxer will put his WBA intercontinental super-welterweight belt back into play, won last May in Texas (United States). Initially, Souleymane Cissokho was due to return to the ring two weeks later in London (September 25), being on the card for WBA, IBF, WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s next fight against Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.

But he wanted to fight in France. “I wanted to fight again in front of a French audience,” explained Cissokho, who has thirteen victories in as many fights. His Russian opponent has 17 and two defeats. He will share the bill with Tony Yoka (10 wins in as many fights), who will defend his European Union heavyweight title against the Croatian Petar Milas, also undefeated.
The atmosphere promises to be electric for the return of boxing to Roland Garros, which has already hosted fights in the past.
