Cameroonian Frenchman Carlos Takam, is regarded as the heavyweight division’s gatekeeper after he proved to be too much for Tony Yoka in their bout early this year, ending Yoka’s hopes of winning the title.

The Olympic gold medalist Tony Yoka, (now 11-2 9 KOs) was defeated by Carlos Takam (now 40-7-1 28 KOs), at the Zenith de Paris, France in March this year thereby giving him his 40th career victory. Takam won the bout by a clear majority decision because he was in complete control of the fight’s tempo and action from the outset.
