Boxing returns to the Palais des Festivals in Cannes
[ad_1]
The Palais des Festivals in Cannes will host a boxing meeting on Monday evening. Organized by promoter Djamel Yacouben, who has already presented two pugilistic galas in Parisian palaces (the Intercontinental and the Westin), its star fight will be an international lightweight championship between Yurik Mamedov (born in Russia and living in New York) and Argentinian Javier Jose Clavero.
Five more fights are scheduled, including European super middleweight champion Kevin Lele Sadjo and European Union super welterweight champion Milan Prat, with both men not defending their titles against Georgians. Sadjo (32 years old, 17 wins, including 15 before the limit, 0 losses) will be opposed to Badri Gogichashvili (23 years old, 11 v., 5 draws, 18 d.) in ten rounds, while Prat (22 years old, 16 wins , including 13 before the limit, 0 losses, 1 no-contest) will face Giorgi Kankava (34 years old, 3 D, 1 D, 6 D) in six rounds.
The meeting will take place in the Ambassador Lounge to allow spectators to dine at the same time. On the other hand, during the two other boxing meetings at the Palais des Festivals (the IBF super-welterweight championship which saw the American Buster Drayton retain his title against Freddy Skouma in 1987, the victory of Christophe Tiozzo over the American Lenzie Morgan in 1991), the ring had been installed on the stage.
