Two World Boxing Federation
(WBF) titles will be on the line
when French compatriots Gregory
Trenel and Cedric Pate rematch
in the main event of a show
promoted by Hamid Zaim Boxing
Team on Saturday March 10 at the
Complexe René Tys in Reims.
The Super Welterweight rivals
first fought in March of 2016,
with no winner as the bout ended
in a four round split draw. Now,
almost two years later, they
will attempt to settle the
score, in a much more
significant fight over ten
rounds.
Besides the vacant WBF
International Super Welterweight
title, Trenel, 9-3-1 (2), will
be defending the WBF Eurasia
title he won in his most recent
fight, convincingly stopping
Georgian Anzor Gamgebeli in four
rounds last April.
7-0-1 in his last eight outings,
26-year-old Trenel from
Dainville will be looking to
continue the momentum he has
build in his career, but he is
sure to again get a stern
challenge from
Charleville-Mezieres´ undefeated
Pate, 12-0-1 (4).
While it will be his first
championship fight, Cedric Pate
has been the more active fighter
since their first encounter, as
he has boxed nine times since
the draw, compared to Gregory
Trenel only entering the ring
three times.
Not surprisingly both feel they
did enough to deserve the
victory in the original fight.
It remains to be seen who has
improved the most in the
interim, and who will hold two
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
titles after the rematch.
