The two opponents have shown their determination ahead of the bout, with Zoss promising a real and spectacular fight, while Siteu Bou Ngor sees it as an important step in his career, according to Seneweb.

Zoss, former leader of the Door Doorat stable and a prominent figure in Senegalese wrestling with striking, has confirmed his return to competition after several years away. He says he intends to beat Siteu Bou Ngor, the young Senegalese wrestler he will face in their bout, according to Seneweb.

Siteu Bou Ngor, for his part, says he wants to beat Zoss “comprehensively” and considers the fight a major opportunity in his career. He nevertheless acknowledges his opponent’s career, describing him as a legend of Senegalese wrestling.

Zoss dismisses the age argument and says he is from the same generation as Siteu Bou Ngor. He promises to wrestle “for real” and put on a show for his supporters, according to Seneweb.

The comeback follows the announcement on 28 October 2026 that Zoss was preparing to return, with a record of seven consecutive defeats mentioned in his comeback preparations.
