GONGcast 40: The Face and the Fists! Raphaël Tronché, triple French champion and undefeated in professional boxing (skillfully dodged by Tony Yoka) will have his first MMA fight on May 3 at the KOF (King of Fighters) in Lille. Ambidextrous musician who can play about thirty instruments, composer, dancer, businessman, Raphaël is adding another string to his bow: MMA. Not content with having beaten Daniel Sam by KO, the Englishman who defeated Patrice Quarteron, with 52 professional fights, for his first Kickboxing fight... Tronché will face Sofiane Boukichou for his first MMA fight, 11-7, 10 years of professional career, with Tom Aspinall and Reug Reug on the clock. Do you think Raphaël likes challenges? When you get a beating at 18, life seems like a reprieve. We sit down for 3 short hours to talk about it in peace. How about English, the drum or the piano? Why Doumbé and why not Tony Yoka? And this career in a mess... all the way to La Cage! For the UNCUT version of this podcast, join the Members area!
