Amateur career


Yoka won the gold medal against future WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker in the super heavyweight division at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics in Singapore.[1] At the 2010 Youth World Amateur Boxing Championships he lost the final to Filip Hrgović.[2] In 2011 he lost at the European (Senior) Championships to Olympic Champion Roberto Cammarelle.[3] At the 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championships he outpointed Jasem Delavari from Iran but was knocked out by Cuban Erislandy Savón. At the 2012 European Boxing Olympic Qualification Tournament he beat three opponents before getting stopped by Magomed Omarov.[4]


In 2015, Yoka first missed a chance to get the gold at the 2015 European Games but still managed to get the bronze medal. [5] Following this achievement, Yoka won the gold at the 2015 AIBA World Boxing Championships, earning him a spot at the 2016 Olympic Games at Rio de Janeiro. [6]


Yoka won the gold over the British boxer Joe Joyce in the super heavyweight division at the 2016 Olympic Games, getting France the first Super Heavyweight gold medal of their history.[citation needed]


Before this fight, Yoka had beaten Hussein Ishaish in the quarter-final, and Filip Hrgović in the semi-final.[7]



Professional career


In 2017 Yoka turned professional. Trained by Virgil Hunter, Yoka fought and beat Travis Clark in his debut fight at Le Palais des Sports in Paris, on June 2017.[8] On October 2017, Yoka defeated Jonathan Rice via unanimous decision 59–56, 60–54, and 58–56.


In July 2018, the French Anti-Doping Agency banned him for one year because of missing three drug tests between July 2016 and July 2017.[9] His appeal against the ruling was rejected by the French Council of State in August 2018.[10]

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
