GYM & STYLE WAR
BOXING SQUAD
- Home Crowd Advantage
- Experienced Coaching (Cassata)
- Heavyweight Sparring Partners
The Boxing Squad is a staple of the French south coast scene. Fighting in Nice, Boukichou acts as the local enforcer. The gym style is typically aggressive and physical, relying on imposing will rather than pure finesse. Boukichou has faced the highest level (Aspinall) and brings that "survival" grit.
ATCH ACADEMY
- Historic French Gym (Parnasse Home)
- Tough matchmaking culture
- Raw Power focus
ATCH Academy is legendary in French MMA development (home of Salahdine Parnasse). However, their heavyweight stable is more about raw power and durability. Bouzy is older (36) and comes with less technical refinement but possesses the "puncher's chance" that ATCH fighters often rely on in heavier weight classes.

AI PREDICTION
Method: Submission (Round 1)
"Levels to this." Boukichou has a deceptive record (12-9) because he has fought absolute killers like Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane early in their careers. He is fighting at home in Nice. Bouzy (5-4) lost by KO to Xavier Lessou, whom Boukichou has competed with in the French hierarchy. Boukichou's grappling edge should be decisive against a one-dimensional power puncher.
