The day before, in the quarter-final, he defeated Kylian Letocart (Saint-Dizier) unanimously by the judges. This Sunday, he did it again, beating Slone Capelot, the champion of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, originally from Panazol. Here again, unanimously by the judges. “He put on a show, it was great boxing, we can be happy,” rejoices Mustafa, his father and trainer.
In the final, Benali will meet Roulio Gaucher (Saint-Sébastien-sur-Loire) whom he has already beaten in the final of the Coupe de France.
The other Bergeracoise entered in the semi-final was unable to create the feat. Lucie Pauliac first beat Julia Labaume in 57 kilos before being eliminated by Sthélyne Grosy, the Lyonnaise, reigning French champion and U23 European champion. A formidable opponent who knew how to hold her position.
