Update Entire Paris Card Cancelled

Per-Åke Persson

*Update: Queensberry and DAZN have now announced that the show is cancelled.

British heavyweight Lawrence Okolie (23-1) has tested positive for a forbidden substance as reported by his promoter, Queensberry Promotions and he is now not fighting French heavyweight Tony Yoka on Saturday (15-3) at the Adidas Arena April 25.

However, the show is still on and Yoka might fight an opponent to be announced – if an interested “tba” can be found and willing to step in on five days notice.

In the co-headliner super welter Bakare Samake (19-0) will meet Turkish-American Ermal Hadribeaj (22-0-1) in a WBC eliminator. Samake is promoted by Samake Promotions who are partners with Queensberry for this event.

A full undercard will feature heavyweight Mourad Aliev (14-1), a big star as an amateur representing France, making his French debut against Colombian Jhan Carlo Delgado (9-4-1) and super bantamweight Khalil El Hadri (21-3) is in against Venezuelan Liborio Solis (37-9-1).
