"Young boxer Wilfried Florentin, 22, was shot dead on Sunday morning, April 30, 2023, following a dispute in a night bar in Bonneuil-sur-Marne (Val-de-Marne). The 35-year-old suspect, who is the subject of a European arrest warrant, was nabbed on May 1 'at Brussels airport, on his way to Côte d'Ivoire,' according to the Créteil prosecutor's office. 'He will be handed over to the French authorities by the Belgian authorities,' the same source added.

The victim was cared for by firefighters outside the establishment, then driven to the hospital early Sunday morning. The prosecutor's office disclosed that he died a little later on Saturday from his injuries. Eyewitnesses told the investigators that the suspect and the victim had a dispute at the crime scene.

Wilfried Florentin was crowned European junior champion in the -200 lb class in 2019. He had subsequently won his first three professional fights by knockout, according to the reference site BoxRec."
