Yoka defeats Hammer, remains unbeaten
Unbeaten IBF #10 heavyweight Tony Yoka (9-0, 7 KOs) scored a lackluster ten round unanimous decision over Christian Hammer (25-7, 15 KOs) on Friday night at H Arena in Nantes, France. Yoka, who won the super heavyweight gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics, was in command all the way but never had Hammer in any trouble. Hammer was deducted a point in round six for hitting on the break.
Unbeaten heavyweight Victor Faust (5-0, 4 KOs) scored a six round unanimous decision over game Kamil Sokolowski (10-20-2, 4 KOs). Faust dropped Sokolowski in round three, but had to go the distance for the first time.
Journeyman welterweight Aboubeker Bechelaghem (12-11-2, 1 KO) was surprisingly announced as an upset winner over Volkan Gokcek (5-0, 2 KOs) by majority decision over six rounds. Gokcek refused to leave the ring, however, and after a delay, the decision was reversed with Gokcek announced as the victor.
2016 Olympic gold medalist Estelle Yoka-Mossely (8-0, 1 KO) had to work hard to beat late sub Emma Gongora (0-2) in an eight-round female lightweight bout. Yoka-Mossely is the wife of heavyweight Tony Yoka.
