Choisy-le-Roi salutes Idir “Chérif” Negrouche, boxing star in the 1950s and worker at Renault. The former champion of the legendary Choisy Boxing Club died at the age of 87, we learned on Sunday February 4.

Boxers from several generations have just gathered to pay him a final tribute, before his body leaves to join that of his wife, buried in Algeria since 2010. He alone symbolized an entire era.
