Postponed to May 16, 2023 due to an injury to Cyril Benzaquen, the duel between the two champions of the discipline will finally take place Thursday February 8. Benzaquen, seven-time IKSA kickboxing world champion, will fight for an 8th title in the discipline. The one who has only 11 defeats in 70 fights returns to the Grand Palais Éphémère, an arena which brought him luck in 2022.
That year, the Frenchman managed to win against the Romanian Florin Lambagiu and thus keep his world belt.
Two years later, the Habs put this title back into play against a compatriot, this time, Yohan Lindon. A fight for the unified WKN-IKSA title. Facing Benzaquen, the one we nicknamed The Lumberjack will stand. A fighter who impresses in the world of combat sports, with 20 world championship titles, a place as fifth best fighter in the world in the welterweight category, with 138 victories including 83 by knockout.
This is the record of Yohan Lindon, to which we could add a victory against Cédric Doumbé, the MMA fighter. Who, Benzaquen or Lindon, will gain the upper hand and capture the title of world kickboxing champion? Answer this Thursday at the Grand Palais Éphémère.
The fight between Benzaquen and Lindon will take place on Thursday February 8 at 7 p.m. on RMC Sport 2.
