One week before their highly anticipated clash at the National Arena, Reug Reug and Boy Niang 2 met this Friday, May 29, 2026, at the Alboury Ndiaye Stadium in Louga for a tense face-off. Before a large crowd, the two wrestlers confirmed that the June 7th bout will indeed take place after several months of postponements and uncertainty.

As is often the case at these kinds of meetings, the exchanges quickly devolved from politeness into provocations. Determined to gain the psychological upper hand before the big day, the two adversaries engaged in a veritable war of words.

Reug Reug, determined to make people forget his recent setback in MMA, appeared particularly confident. "You can't stop me. Balla Gaye 2 is the last wrestler you beat. You defeated him because he wasn't the Balla Gaye we knew anymore," he said.

A statement that did not leave Boy Niang 2 indifferent. De Gaulle's son immediately responded by displaying his physical superiority and determination. "I am stronger than you. I will correct you before I defeat you. If you fight with me, I will correct you; if you wrestle with me, I will defeat you," he promised.

This verbal confrontation has further fueled the anticipation of wrestling fans. Considered one of the biggest fights of the season, this duel will pit two different styles against each other: the power and international experience of Reug Reug against the technique, mobility, and fighting spirit of Boy Niang 2.

The date is now set for June 7 at the National Arena, where one of the two wrestlers will try to make a lasting impression in what is already shaping up to be an electrifying match.
