Supposé changement de nationalité de Tony Yoka : La réaction ferme du boxeur
Has Tony Yoka changed his sporting nationality? The answer is no. In any case, the Olympic super-heavyweight champion from the Rio Games does not acknowledge having given up representing France. "There is no question of me changing my sporting nationality, nor of representing the DRC at the Olympic Games. I am and will remain a French Olympic champion," declared the Paris native in a video posted yesterday, Tuesday, February 24, on his digital channels.
It must be said that the rumors about his supposed change of nationality emerged after he obtained a license from the Congolese boxing federation.
"It doesn't make sense to say that I'm changing my sporting nationality."
For Tony Yoka, this administrative formality simply fulfills the requirements related to organizing his fights. He has a rematch against Martin Bakolé in September or October. To facilitate this rematch in Kinshasa, the plan is for Bakolé, who has a British license, and himself to obtain Congolese licenses, just as Kylian Mbappé has a Spanish license… Similarly, I could have obtained an American license when I was training in the United States with Virgil Hunter. It doesn't make sense to say that I'm changing my sporting nationality,” he explained.
