A week from today @ Palais des Sports in the Hérault province of southern France. Natchoo will be making the second defense of his French middleweight title after knocking out Mothmora for it last October. This is a rematch of probably France's domestic FOTY in 2018: https://www.boxingforum24.com/threa...-diego-natchoo-vs-michel-mothmora-rbr.616884/ This content is protected
Natchoo has kept a busy schedule, defeating Péter Krämer just a couple of weeks after beating Mothmora for the French MW title, and then defending it against Patrick Mokamba in February. I'm really hoping this gets broadcast on Canal+, as his last few matches have been..
You don’t have to worry. Mothmora wasn’t medically cleared due to a retinal tear (according to Google translate at least) and the fight is off https://www.lanouvellerepublique.fr/blois/boxe-michel-mothmora-prive-de-championnat-de-france
They found a late replacement for Natchoo: Patrick Momene Mokamba. Dude is 38 years old with a 7-25-4 (2) record, but somehow the French middleweight title is still on the line.
Mokamba has actually fought once since then. ...and lost. (and he didn't even deserve to challenge Natchoo for his belt the first time)
On paper, it seems like one of the easiest title defenses for a legitimate title that I’ve seen in a while. But the way this year is going, he’s going to end up shocking Natchoo and ruining everything
