Roberge started his paid career in the ring with a
loss in 2000, but quickly found his form and won
thirteen of his next fifteen bouts before
challenging Vadim Tokarev for the IBF I-C title in
Russia in 2003. He lost that fight, but rebounded
quickly to win the French title six weeks later
with a decision over Frederic Serrat.
In 2007 Roberge went to Hungary to fight Gyorgy
Hidvegi for the WBF World title, but as in the
bout with Tokarev, Roberge was stopped in the
second round on a bad night. In 2008 he regained
the French title by stopping the undefeated
Christophe Dettinger, but his reign was short and
he lost it again later that year to Rashid El
Hadak.
Now he is ready to try his luck in a new weight
class, and will be highly motivated to defeat
Benguesmia in front of an enthusiastic crowd in
Algiers to become UBO Champion.
