Former world heavyweight title challenger Carlos Takam 36-5-1 (28 KOs) will feature on the September 14th Star Boxing Show at Resorts World Catskills in the quaint resort of Monticello, New York. Takam was originally pencilled in to meet Oleksandr Usyk 16-0 (12 KOs) in May before the former cruiserweight King pulled out with an injury.. Unfortunately the much publicised Usyk debut was rescheduled, without the inclusion of the experienced French based Cameroon native.. Takam will now meet Detroits Craig Lewis 14-3-1(8 KOs)
The 34 year old, 6 foot 5 Lewis, has hung in there with some capable opposition, unfortunately losing on each occasion (Demetrius Banks, Junior Fa and Jermaine Franklin) each time on points, showing the durability that will be required against Takam..
Carlos, who now resides full time in Las Vegas has only really fallen to quality opposition, several ranks higher than Craig Lewis, with recent defeats to both unified champion Anthony Joshua and former world title challenger Dereck Chisora before scoring a 7 round knockout over Senad Gashi last December in his most recent outing..
The excited Takam appears to be enjoying his new life in America, with ambitions of creating a substantial fan base over there.. In his own words, “Only a good job and humility can bring me a loyal following, I’m ready to satisfy the USA fans in the same way that I did in Africa and Europe.. I’m ready and prepared to do the job..”
Carlos Takam will be having his first fight under the umbrella of Star Boxing..
