Joël, Nohan and Cyndelle Bachelet: family boxing in the Seine-Maritime | The pathfinder

In the family Bachelet in Serqueux, the boxing is a religion. Cyndelle is already French champion, and it is now the younger brothers, Joël and Nohan, who continue their rise. Joël Bachelet (15 years old) has just won belt of Vikings in Carentan (Manche).

The family is still looking for a room to start a boxing club in Pays de Bray. But the task is difficult.

From the final to the Vikings belt

In the process, his brother Nohan (14 years old) reached the final against a young Russian who already had 30 matches.

The Vikings is a competition open to cadets and juniors who have already had at least 5 or 10 matches under their belt.

In 2023, Joel Bachelet won the Vikings belt in -52kg. This year he keeps the belt, but at -57 kg.

A member of the Noble Art of Rouen, the young man settled in the world of amateur boxing and seems to have a bright future.

Store experience

As a 15-year-old, he already has 19 matches for only 2 defeats. A fine track record that he hopes to expand.

In the room to Haut-Dick of Carentan-les-Maraisthe boxer who now lives in Serqueux sat in the champion’s chair for the second year in a row.

And yet the competition is fierce since the best French hopes are present, but also foreign delegations.

In three days (from April 19 to 21), the young man put together three matches and three victories to extend the record and now look higher.

But his coach and father, Jérôme, remain cautious. He knows how slowly a career is built.

“For Joël and Nohan, this type of competition allows them to gain experience. There are big teams coming to the Vikings belt. There was especially a team from Kosovo and champions from France.

Young boxers must feel good in their category.

From now on, Joël is looking towards the next season among juniors, this time with a new goal: a the title of champion in France. When it comes to Noahwill he have in the applicant one national criterion. The opportunity to gain additional experience.

And experience, big sister, Cyndelle starting to get a lot of it. Already champion in France, the young woman has in the back of her mind a possible qualification for the Paris Olympics. “Today she is French number 2. But she is also focused on 2028,” confides her father and coach.

And in the Bachelet family who moved from Sommery to Serqueux, there is too Izzy. The youngest (12 years) who attends and completes the apprenticeship in educational boxing. A family story.

Jérôme, the dad with all the training diplomas, has not yet given up on finding a spare room near Forges-les-Eaux to create a real English boxing club.

We can even start with educational boxing.

But he struggles to make himself heard. And yet time is running out if he wants to launch his project before the school year starts in September. However, Pays de Bray will have a lot to gain by introducing young people to this beautiful sport.
