A crucial meeting, convened by the president of the Senegalese Wrestling Federation (FSL), Bira Sène, is being held this Wednesday at 11:00 AM at the National Arena. The objective is clear, as Record points out: to find a definitive solution to the dispute between promoter Makane Mbengue (Gaston Productions) and the camps of Boy Niang 2 and Reug Reug.

Originally scheduled for this Tuesday but postponed due to the absence of Ndiamé Diop, Administrative Director of the federation, this meeting is presented as the "last chance" to save this match.

On February 25th, the governing body made its decision, setting the match for Sunday, June 7th, as reported by the sports daily. This decision followed a second medical examination confirming Reug Reug's recovery. While regulations normally require the match to be held within three months of medical clearance, the proximity of Tabaski (Eid al-Adha) prompted the FSL (Luxembourg Football Federation) to make a slight exception. Bira Sène and his team felt that an event of this magnitude would be "materially and socially inappropriate" during the holiday period, thus justifying the choice of June 7th.

Boy Niang 2 with his back to the wall

For Boy Niang 2, the situation changed dramatically in just a few weeks. After Reug Reug's injury in November, De Gaulle's son hoped for a duel against Franc (Ndiago Or) following the latter's victory over Tapha Tine. However, Reug Reug's surprise return, armed with his medical certificate, completely disrupted his plans, restoring priority to his original contract with Gaston Productions.

The stakes of the meeting

The Pikine camp, which initially demanded strict adherence to the three-month deadline (meaning a fight in May), now finds itself running out of options. To avoid a lost season, Boy Niang 2 may be forced to accept the June 7th date, according to the specialized newspaper.
