French boxer Mehdi Bouadla (21-3, 10 KOs) will attempt before the cameras of "Ma Chaine Sport” on January 22th in Germany, to score a big upset in Neubrandenburg when he faces IBF champion Sebastian Sylvester (34-3-1, 16 KOs) of Germany. He admits the task will not be easy.

Bouadla is certainly capable to meet the challenge. A professional since 2003 he is one of those fantastic French boxers who arrives at the highest level. Bouadla is a bus driver and works hard at his job, while Sylvester is a millionaire. The two worlds will clash, yet on the same continent.

He weaved his way slowly, from the amateur ranks where he confesses to have known many disappointments, to the professional ranks where he climbed step by step to the position of a world challenger. An ex-welterweight champion in France and holder of two international IBF and WBO Intercontinental belts.
