Anthony Riviere won the vacant World
Boxing Federation (WBF)
International Lightweight title on
Friday night, June 7, when he
defeated rival Alain Christian
Sangue in Blagnac, France.
This was their third fight, with
each having won one going in.
Riviere won their first encounter by
split decision in March of 2023, and
Sangue got even in the rematch three
months later, also by split
decision.
And quite extraordinarily, the
rubber-match went exactly the same
way. After ten even rounds, judges
Bruno Dubois and Uwe Lorch scored it
98-92 and 97-93 for Riviere, while
judge Vincent Dupas had it 97-93 for
Sangue.
Fighting in his home-town, Riviere
improved his professional record to
13-6-1 (2). Sangue, born in Cameroon
but fighting out of Tours, France,
drops to 14-10-2 (3).
The fight was the main event of a
show promoted by Blagnac Boxing
Club.
