The Lansar phenomenon wants to follow in the footsteps of his uncle Yahya Diop “Yékini”, the last king of the Serer arenas of the Senegalese arena.
Facing Modou Lo this Sunday, November 24, the stakes are high for Siteu “Yalmine bi”. The young wolf has the opportunity to write his name in the annals of the history of Senegalese wrestling alongside illustrious champions like Double Less, Falaye Baldé, Manga 2, Mouhamed Ndao Tyson, Yèkini and Balla Gaye 2. protege of Max Mbargane can also become the first wrestler from Diamaguene to become king of the arenas. Diamageune, a locality that he himself has brought into the light since his debut in the arena in 2009.
However, Siteu’s dearest wish is to put the Serer wrestlers back into orbit who have been looking for a true champion since the end of Yékini’s reign on April 22, 2012. Many have tried but until then no one has had shoulders broad enough to carry the hopes of an entire community, once renowned as that of wrestling champions. Mamady Ndiaye, Ablaye Ndiaye, these sons of Robert (former mentor of Yékini) broke their teeth very early in the arena despite a very promising start to their career.
But it is Moustapha Senghor (Sitapha for short, Editor’s note) who will become the great champion who will knock on the door of the king of the arenas to compete for the supreme title.
A phenomenal start to his career, a difficult entry into the big leagues!
Like his next opponent, Siteu (12 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses) very quickly made a name for himself in the arena. Drawing huge crowds for each of his fights, the slender wrestler from Lansar has a string of victories and attracts more and more promoters who are eager for him.
And despite a first defeat (against Mame Balla), the very popular “Baay Fall” does not give up and continues its merry way with successes ahead of Zoss 3, Nakha Nakha, Frazier, Rouge Bordeaux, Narou Soga, Pape Mor Lô and the Grand Yoff volcano, Zarco.
The wrestler from Dionwar (Serer village) thus opens the way to the VIP anteroom. Unfortunately he will lose decisive fights for his rise since he will be beaten by the experienced Boy Sèye (June 2013) before being corrected by Sa Thiès (July 2016) and Gouy Gui (April 2018).
But like a phoenix, Siteu will rise from his ashes to offer himself two flashy successes at the right time against Zoss and Papa Sow. Which then places them on the path to Lac de Guiers on November 19, 2023. Outsider in this clash, Siteu will lose but with honor since the Walo puncher is declared the winner by arbitration decision after twenty-five minutes of combat. No fall therefore for his first big test among the big names.
Siteu comes out of this fight and grows. And while his fight against Ama Baldé was about to be finalized, Siteu will seize the hand extended by the king of the arenas Modou Lô who offers him his first royal shock. This is a great opportunity…
