Kevin Lele Sadjo vs. Abraham Buonarrgio | DAZN - December 2, 2023

[Ruthless-RKO]

Press Release

On December 2nd, at the Palais des Sports in Marseille, Y12 Boxing and its promoter, Yohan Zaoui, will stage a card being streamed by DAZN. The event - which is being dubbed ‘Made in France’ - will air live from 7:00 PM (GMT+1) to over 200 countries.

"The arrival of DAZN in France is the best possible news for our boxers. This platform has made boxing its sport of choice, and now all French fans will have access to the best content of boxing in France and around the world," explained Zaoui.

• Kevin Lele Sadjo, undefeated in 20 fights with 18 won by knockout, will be the main event of the evening. He will defend his European super middleweight title for the second time against his official challenger, the Italian Giovanni De Carolis.

De Carolis is an experienced and dangerous opponent who must be taken seriously, as evidenced by his 2022 knockout victory over his previously undefeated compatriot, Daniele Scardina. The clash with 'The Punisher' promises to ignite the Palais des Sports of Marseille.

"I'm very excited to fight in front of the country's most passionate fans of sports and live on DAZN. My goal is to compete for a world title in 2024; defeat is not an option. I have respect for my opponent; he has faced big names and has been the WBA 'regular' world champion, so he has vast experience. But 'The Punisher' will be too much for him; he won't finish the fight on his feet..." declared Lele Sadjo.

Kevin Lele Sadjo To Face Late Replacement, De Carolis Withdraws With Injury

Kevin Lele Sadjo's much anticipated defense of the EBU super middleweight title against former WBA champ Giovanni De Carolis, that was set for Marseille (France) this coming Saturday (Dec 2), is now off.

De Carolis (33-10-1) appears to have suffered a shoulder injury and withdrew from the fight this past weekend, writes Italian website Boxeringweb.

Lele Sadjo is 20-0 with 18 early endings and this was to be the third defense of the title he won by stopping Jack Cullen.

However, on very short notice, Y 12 Boxing, headed by Yohan Zaoui, has secured the services of Argentinian Abraham Buonarrgio (12-4) and Lele Sadjo will thus defend his "other" title, the WBO Intercontinental belt.

This show is also the French debut for DAZN.

Sadjo stops Buonarrigo in 4 rounds, just bulldozed though him, Buonarrigo won the 1st with better boxing , Sadjo looked a bit crude and too intent, smothered a lot of his work but he just kept on him and in the 4th put Buonarrigo down with a left hook, Buonarrigo wasn't badly hurt but Sadjo kept the pressure on and another left hook had him down again , his corner stopped it halfway through count, bit premature, Buonarrigo wasn't done
