On Friday

Emirates, Lambert Fogoum successfully
retained the Universal
Boxing Organization™ (UBO) All-Africa
Cruiserweight title in his first defense.

In an
entertaining, and in the beginning evenly
contested, fight between Dubai-based Africans
at the JW
Marriott Dubai, the champion from
Cameroon stopped “The Egyptian Hurricane” Hany
Atiyo in the fifth round.
Lambert
started slow, but worked effectively to the body
of the much taller Atiyo who tried hard but
never managed to effectively find his range.
As the
rounds went, Fogoum increased the pressure, and
in the fifth he floored Atiyo with a crushing
right to the body, and the towel was thrown in
to save the challenger. Time of stoppage: 1:39.

Fogoum,
who is one of very few boxers who has boxed four
times in 2020, having won the UBO title in March
and stayed busy with two non-title fights,
improved his professional record to 9-1-1 (8).
Atiyo, a
former UBO All-Africa, Egyptian national and WBC
(ABU) African Light Heavyweight Champion, falls
to 17-4 (12).
The fight
was promoted by Sanjai Boxing Promotions.
