Last December, welterweight contenders Souleymane Cissokho and Egidijus Kavaliauskas were scheduled to face each other, but an injury sidelined Cissohko, who announced before the fight that he had broken his hand in sparring. The fight is back on for this Saturday, May 10th, at the Sipopo Conference Center in Equatorial Guinea. Cissokho is a Senegalese-born, French-based fighter with an undefeated record of 19 wins and 9 KOs including the World Series of Boxing. He hasn't fought since 2023. Kavaliauskas, from Lithuania, has a record of 24-2-1 and 19 knockouts. He also hasn't fought since 2023, but he is best known for giving current pound-for-pound star Terence Crawford a very tough fight in 2019.
