After the Olympic Games, here's a new way to see boxing right in the heart of the capital, with a world championship accessible free of charge under the Canopée du Westfield Forum des Halles! On November 23, 2024, Bakary Samake, a 21-year-old boxing prodigy from the Paris region, will take on Wade Ryan in what promises to be a hard-fought battle for the WBC Silver international super-welterweight title.
5000 spectators are expected at Les Halles from 6pm to cheer on the Frenchman, ranked 24th in the world and unbeaten in 16 professional fights, 8 of which were won by KO. But the 34-year-old Australian he'll be fighting is far more experienced and promises to be a formidable opponent. It remains to be seen whether 12 rounds will be necessary to see the winner of the evening, at home for Bakary Samake.
After welcoming Estelle Mossely and Sofiane Oumiha last year, the mall is once again hosting a free competition, visible from the stairs and balustrades of the Canopée, with the program featuring more professional fights involving Mustapha Zaouch, Junior Niaty and Bernard Cheupta Epoule. If you can't make it, the event will be broadcast live on RMC Sport!
