Still undefeated in the welterweight category (-66kg) after 16 fights (including 9 before the end of regulation time), Souleymane Cissokho will challenge the American Janelson Figueroa Bocachica. He will try to retain his WBC-Silver title acquired in December 2022. The fight will take place on the land of the American, born in Detroit: “Bocachica will be at home, because he was born and lives in Detroit, specifies Cissokho. He is very solid and his only defeat, against the big Colombian puncher Roiman Villa, is only on points. I expect a not easy fight, ”explains the Frenchman.

Since May, Souleymane Cissokho has been preparing near San Francisco with American coach Virgil Hunter.
