Ulric Bokeme enters SENSHI 32 as an experienced middleweight with a strong base in kickboxing, a proven record in the promotion, and a clear sense of confidence ahead of the biggest one-night test of his SENSHI run. The Swiss fighter, who is of Congolese background and trains out of Singto Gym, has built his career on discipline, composure, and steady results, making him one of the names to watch in the upcoming Grand Prix.
SENSHI 32 Grand Prix takes place on July 11 at the beach arena in St. Constantine and Helena near Varna, Bulgaria, with the event scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM EET, which is 12:30 PM EST. The card brings together fighters from 13 countries and centers on the promotion’s latest one-night tournament, this time at up to 85 kilograms.
Ulric Bokeme talks SENSHI 32
For Bokeme, the path starts with a quarterfinal bout against Portugal’s Juri de Sousa. The winner would move one step closer to the title in a bracket that also includes Joshua Akingbade vs Ali Yuzeir, David Szabo-Toth vs Fabian Lorito, and Miles Simson vs Oliver Langlois-Ross. Two reserve fights are also set in case the bracket needs replacements: Angelo Mirno vs Ricardo Luckei and Ramy Deghir vs Sharif Ben Mabrouk. Outside the tournament, SENSHI 32 also features Nathan Cook vs Francesko Xhaja at 95+ kg under Full Contact rules and Daniele Valente vs Zhulien Rikov at −75 kg under the same rules.
Bokeme enters as one of the more established names in the field. He is a 35-year-old Swiss fighter of Congolese background, based in Geneva and representing Singto Gym. He stands 190 centimeters tall, competes at 85 kilograms. His listed achievements include becoming a Kickboxing Swiss Champion and a WFC European Champion, markers that help explain why he arrives at this bracket with title expectations rather than just participation hopes.
His recent SENSHI form is hard to miss. Bokeme has gone 3-0 in the organization, all by unanimous decision. He beat Joilton Lutterbach at SENSHI 26 on May 17, 2025, then defeated Fabian Lorito at SENSHI 27 on July 12, 2025, and followed that with another decision win over Francis Goma at SENSHI 29 in Varna. This is a fighter who has adapted well to the SENSHI setting, can manage pace across full fights, and has already solved a familiar name from this very Grand Prix field.
His professional record is listed at 30 wins with 17 knockouts and a few losses only to world champion holders. That record gives some balance to the way he describes himself. Bokeme says his main weapon going into the tournament is his mentality.
“Skills and physical strength are important, but my determination, resilience, and ability to stay focused under pressure make the difference,” he said. That line fits the evidence from his recent run. Even though he picked “knockout” when asked to choose between a stoppage and a decision, his last three SENSHI victories all came on the scorecards, which points to control as a major part of his game.
Bokeme also made it clear that he is not looking past anyone in the bracket. “I respect every fighter in this tournament because everyone earned their place here,” he said. “But I have prepared too hard and sacrificed too much to believe that anyone can stop me. On fight night, I will be ready for every challenge.”
When asked why he believes he can win the entire Grand Prix, Bokeme pointed to “discipline, experience, determination, and an unbreakable mindset.” He added that he is “constantly improving” and coming in with “one goal only: to become champion.” He did not name a preferred opponent for the final, saying he is ready for whoever gets there and that the strongest possible opponent would be the most exciting challenge.
Bokeme explains that he has trained in martial arts for more than 15 years and was drawn to fighting by competition and self-improvement. He describes martial arts as something that gave him purpose and discipline and as a way to express himself through performance. Away from fighting, he says he is interested in entrepreneurship, personal development, and studying the mindset of high performers.
“I respect every opponent who steps into the ring, but when the bell rings, respect turns into business. Come prepared.” He also said the most dangerous part of his game is his ability to stay calm under pressure and finish a fight at any moment. Asked what fighting has taken from him, he pointed to time with family and friends.
That theme comes up again when Bokeme talks about legacy. He wants to be remembered “as a fearless warrior who inspired others through discipline and determination.” He says the wins that mean the most to him are the ones that came after hard setbacks because they proved his character. He also admitted that one of his weaknesses is expecting too much from himself, a revealing answer for a fighter entering a format where mental control may be as important as conditioning.
At SENSHI 32, all of that now gets tested in a single night. Bokeme has size for the division, a strong record, previous SENSHI success, and the confidence of a fighter who believes he belongs at this level. His first task is Juri de Sousa. If he clears that, the road keeps moving. In a bracket built on short turnarounds and quick adjustments, Bokeme’s case is straightforward: experience, composure, and the belief that he is ready for every stage of the tournament.
