France-based World Boxing Federation (WBF) International Middleweight champion Francis Tchoffo, 20-19-1 (6), will return to his birth-country Cameroon to make the first defense of his title on December 23.
Fighting for the first time as a pro in Cameroon, Tchoffo, will square off with Argentinian challenger Juan Manuel Obelar, 9-4-3 (7), at the Stade Mbappe Leppe, an outdoor football stadium in the city of Douala.
A pro for fifteen years, Tchoffo won the WBF title last December in France when he scored a unanimous decision over Serbian Nikola Vlajkov.
Having taken on all comers since very early in his career, that was his first successful title-challenge and he will be looking to build on the momentum against Obelar in front of a large crowd.
Tchoffo vs. Obelar will headline a card promoted by Champion United Boxing Academy Promotion, and will be preceded by a strong undercard.
