Tyson-Tapha Guèye de 1996 : le cadeau secret de la femme de Abdou Diouf au Tigre Fass la veille du combat
In an interview published this Monday in Le Soleil des Sports, Moustapha Guèye reminisced about his first fight against Tyson in 1996. The former Tiger of Fass revealed that 24 hours before the bout, the First Lady at the time secretly gave him a gift. Both wrestlers received six million CFA francs in purses.
“The day before the fight,” recalls Mbaye Guèye’s brother, “Ms. Élisabeth Diouf, the promoter [through her Solidarité-Partage foundation], paid me one million in advance with a thank-you letter. She added another million, bringing my purse to seven million against six for my opponent.”
Tapha Guèye was defeated after a hard-fought battle. This marked the beginning of Tyson's rise to power, who would reign in the arena for six years before being dethroned in turn by Bombardier.
