What's at stake
Bakary Samaké (19-1) lost on points to Ermal Hadribeaj in Germany on 25 May 2026, giving up his WBC Silver super-welterweight belt. That title, now vacant again, is on the line in Levallois. A win would put the Frenchman back in the hunt for a world title shot; the French federation says he has no more margin for error.
Across the ring is Uisma Lima, a 33-year-old Portuguese southpaw of Angolan descent, with 16 wins (11 inside the distance) and 2 losses. Both defeats came against Jaron Ennis and unbeaten Irishman Aaron McKenna.
