By Juan Rodriguez: Tony Yoka has turned pro under Richard Schaffer’s Ringstar Sports in France. He is set to make his debut on May 20th Paris, where he is expected to be a big draw. The question is, now that 2015 World and 2016 Olympic champion has turned pro, does he have what it takes to transfer his amateur success to the pros?
If his previous success and accomplishments are any indicators, then smart money says yes. Yoka has already signed an exclusive, four year contract with French broadcaster, Canal +, before even stepping into the ring for his professional debut. It is evident that there is a lot of interest in Yoka’s career, and a lucrative contract with a big network is a sign of things to come.
