Despite an official announcement this weekend, World Boxing News has learned no agreement is in place between heavyweights Tony Yoka and Johann Duhaupas.

A TV deal was confirmed by a top French broadcaster to televise a fight between the compatriots this summer.

Duhaupas and his manager Mehdi Ameur have now moved to deny a contract is signed

Duhaupas himself said: “I am not happy about this announcement for a fight with Tony Yoka. Everything must be agreed before we fight. This time, there was no signed contract.

“We will fight when I am ready and not before when Tony Yoka is ready.”


I didn't even know that this was being discussed. Yoka coming off drug suspension and needs a fight just like this against a true step up in order to get back on track.
