World Boxing Federation World
Heavyweight Champion Michael
Grant is ready to make his first
title-defence in the hometown of
tough challenger Carlos Takam on
Friday May 24.
The pair will clash at the
Gymnase du Clos de l'Arche in
Noisy-le-Grand, France, on a
show promoted by accomplished
and respected promoter Joseph
Germain.
Grant, 48-4 (36), has been on
the sidelines waiting for a
chance to defend his title since
winning it against Francois
Botha in South Africa in
November 2011, and the massive
American is reportedly in great
shape and eager to return to
action.
Carlos Takam, 27-1 (21), is the
reigning WBF International
champion, a title he captured in
March 2012 by stopping the
aforementioned Botha in eleven
rounds, one round quicker than
Grant. The Cameroon-born 2004
Olympian has since tuned up for
what will be his careers biggest
fight by scoring two non-title
victories.
The Michael Grant vs. Carlos
Takam World Boxing Federation
World Heavyweight title fight is
a classic confrontation of
big-name champion fighting to
stay on top, against a hungry
challenger looking to make a
name for himself by dethroning
the champion.
Both are big punchers, so the
spectators in Noisy-le-Grand can
look forward to an explosive
evening of World Championship
boxing!
