Yoka, undefeated in ten outings for the pros now, won by KO Friday night in Nantes against the Belgian Tambwe Djeko in the twelfth and final round after a series of rights and a last uppercut which knocked out the Belgian at 1 min 30 of the end.
The French Olympic champion dominated this fight from start to finish against a "Big Joe" who cashed well but did not touch him often enough.
In the attack of the 10th round, Yoka had touched Djeko three times more often than the reverse, in particular on precise and effective lines.
The Belgian from Molenbeek finished the fight on the ropes, with a very swollen right eye, and let go after a last uppercut, victim of a knockout carefully prepared throughout the fight.
An end of the confrontation to relive in pictures.
