Bilel Latreche retrouve la parole\u2026 perdue<\/h1>\n

\\\"\\\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Les adeptes du noble art se doivent de cocher sur leur agenda le 26 novembre. Et pour cause, telle est la date du grand retour sur le ring de Bilel Latreche face au Finlandais Mathias Eklund pour la ceinture IBA International Championship. Un retour particuli\u00e8rement attendu puisque le boxeur dijonnais a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9loign\u00e9 des rings depuis pratiquement deux ans, eu \u00e9gard au Covid.<\/b><\/p>\n

Outre les joutes m\u00e9morables sur le ring (et ailleurs \u2013 nous nous rappelons tous de son bras de fer avec le gouvernement am\u00e9ricain apr\u00e8s son refus de s\u2019engager pour aller combattre contre les \u00ab\u00a0Vietcong\u00a0\u00bb qui ne lui avaient rien fait !), Mohamed Ali nous a aussi l\u00e9gu\u00e9 quelques bons mots. Voici l\u2019une de ses citations qui fait encore flor\u00e8s : \u00ab Le silence est d\\’or quand vous n\\’avez pas de bonne r\u00e9ponse\u00a0<\/span>\u00e0 donner \u00bb.
\nVolant lui aussi comme le papillon et piquant comme l\u2019abeille, Bilel Latreche, que les sp\u00e9cialistes se plaisent \u00e0 qualifier de \u00ab\u00a0beau boxeur\u00a0\u00bb, ne nous en voudra pas de d\u00e9buter par une formule de celui dont il aime s\u2019inspirer. Une formule on ne peut plus adapt\u00e9e puisque, depuis pratiquement 2 ans, ce grand sportif bourguignon a \u00e9t\u00e9 tenu au silence, Covid oblige. La situation sanitaire a emp\u00each\u00e9 l\u2019organisation de tous ses combats officiels, repoussant \u00e0 de nombreuses reprises les \u00e9ch\u00e9ances.
\nUne situation in\u00e9dite pour le triple champion du monde espoir IBF en 28 ans de carri\u00e8re : \u00ab\u00a0M\u00eame lorsque je suis pass\u00e9 d\u2019amateur olympique \u00e0 professionnel, l\u2019inactivit\u00e9 avait dur\u00e9 moins d\u2019un an. L\u00e0, la donne est tout autre !\u00a0Et comme rien ne remplace la comp\u00e9tition, ces deux ans d\u2019arr\u00eat repr\u00e9sentent une vraie inconnue. C\u2019est la seule pression\u2026 \u00bb Autrement dit : comment encaissera-t-il les coups apr\u00e8s une aussi longue parenth\u00e8se ? Telle est la question non shakespearienne mais sportive dont nous ne conna\u00eetrons la r\u00e9ponse que le 26 novembre prochain au soir pour son grand retour sur le ring au palais des Sports de Dijon. O\u00f9 il combattra pour la ceinture IBA International Championship dans la cat\u00e9gorie mi-lourd (moins de 79,300 kg).<\/p>\n

Un adversaire dur au mal<\/b><\/p>\n

Et il devra retrouver la parole\u2026 perdue afin de battre le Finlandais Mathias Eklund, dur au mal, qui, lui, n\u2019a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 soumis \u00e0 la m\u00eame discr\u00e9tion durant la p\u00e9riode Covid. Sur 5 de ses combats programm\u00e9s, un seul n\u2019a pu avoir lieu, les pays du Nord de l\u2019Europe ayant appliqu\u00e9 d\u2019autres r\u00e8gles sanitaires sur le plan sportif que celles en vigueur dans l\u2019Hexagone.
\nPour combler cette diff\u00e9rence, Bilel Latreche, qui a la culture du travail chevill\u00e9e au corps et au c\u0153ur, a rallong\u00e9 sa pr\u00e9paration sp\u00e9cifique en vue de ce combat, qui, en cas de victoire, lui ouvrirait (enfin) les portes d\u2019un championnat du monde IBA ou d\u2019une ceinture continentale ou intercontinentale dans l\u2019une des quatre f\u00e9d\u00e9rations majeures (WBA, WBC, WBO et IBF). Et l\u2019ancien locataire de l\u2019insep, qui fut deux fois champion de France et autant de fois champion d\u2019Europe, m\u00e9rite, c\u2019est certain, d\u2019acc\u00e9der \u00e0 ce Graal qui pourrait venir ponctuer une superbe carri\u00e8re.
\nPour continuer d\u2019\u00e9crire des belles pages de son histoire sportive (27 victoires, dont 6 sur KO, 1 nul et 5 d\u00e9faites), il a d\u00e9but\u00e9 sa pr\u00e9paration fin ao\u00fbt, travaillant le physique sur Dijon et tout ce qui est technico-tactique \u00e0 Besan\u00e7on et Vesoul, o\u00f9 il multiplie les entra\u00eenements avec des sparring-partners. Le but du jeu \u00e9tant \u00ab\u00a0d\u2019envoyer r\u00e9ellement du lourd\u00a0\u00bb et d\u2019\u00eatre on ne peut plus pr\u00eat \u00e0 (re)faire parler\u2026 ses points !<\/p>\n
