World Boxing Foundation welterweight champion Dondon 'Supremo' Sultan will leave for France on Monday, ready and in prime shape to defend his title against Hamza Issa in Calais, France on June 23.
Sultan will be accompanied in his France sojourn by top Filipino promoter Sammy Gello-ani.
Renowned Las Vegas trainer and cutman Tony Martin will rendezvouz with the group in France to work Sultan's corner, said Gello-ani.
Sultan will be making the first defense of the title he won with a convincing unanimous decision over Eddie Delic last November 25.
