Salif Sakho, also known as Sa Thiès, is in top form. The brother of Balla Gaye 2 strongly and resolutely asserts that he will have to give his “best” to dethrone Doudou Lô, aka Modou Lô, of the Rock Énergie stable, on April 5, 2026.
Discussions are dominated by the stakes of the highly anticipated Modou Lô vs. Sa Thiès wrestling match, organized by Albourakh Events and scheduled for April 5, 2026. In an interview with Lutte TV, broadcast yesterday, Sa Thiès set the tone. “Modou Lô has worked very hard, demonstrating discipline, dedication, and talent to reach the top and become King of the Arena. I will have to focus on my preparation and give my all to beat him on the day,” he declared. For the “Volcano” of Guédiawaye, Modou Lô is an elder who gave him a leg up by allowing him to fight the first major battle of his career. “I never stop thanking him for that. That’s why I’m fully aware of what awaits me,” he promised. On this subject, the younger brother of Double Less affirmed that he will do everything necessary to defeat him, leaving no stone unturned. “The two fights of my older brother Balla Gaye 2 against Modou Lô (2010 and 2019) always generated a lot of passion. By the grace of God, victory was his both times. I want to follow in his footsteps by defeating Modou Lô in turn,” he insisted, visibly in top form. The heir to Double Less added that all those who support him give him valuable advice. “I will remain attentive to all good advice to enrich my technical skills.” “What I do know is that I will be ready in every way on the day of the fight,” he declared.
Regarding Modou Lô’s formidable fighting skills, he acknowledged that they both practice striking wrestling, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. He recognized that his opponent has greatly improved in terms of his fighting, a certainty he draws from analyzing almost all of his bouts. “I hope Modou Lô is in top form, just like me. That would make my victory even more credible if I manage it. I don’t want any postponements, nor do I want either of us to get injured,” he concluded, level-headed and clearly ambitious.
