Tony Yoka, the 6 foot 7 inch Super-heavyweight gold medalist from the Rio games made it a successful 2-0 (1 Ko) at the Zenith de Paris, in Paris, France on Saturday night.. The 25 year old Yoka outpointed the durable Californian Jonathon Rice 7-3-1 (4 Ko's) over six impressive rounds.. Yoka is best remembered for controversially outpointing our own Joe Joyce in the 90Kg+ final of the 2016 games (Joe himself preparing to propel himself into the paid ranks against the experienced Ian Lewison this coming weekend..) Rice having his 11th outing has never been stopped, including a loss to the debuting California based Irish prospect Con Sheehan last year in LA..
Scores were: 60-54, 59-55 and 58-56 all in favour of the Frenchman.
