Kickboxing career
Enfusion
Bokeme started on sports as a football player and played on the Swiss National team, due knee injuries he had to give up on his football career. He started training kickboxing as a treatment for his injuries and decided to become a kickboxer.[7]
Bokeme fought during La Nuit De L'Impact III, with his opponent being Yassine Ahaggan. He won the fight by a third round knockout.[8] Bokeme faced Jean Philippe Ghigo at Divonne Challenge 3 on April 15, 2017.[9] He won the fight by decision.[10]
Bokeme fought the former WBC Muaythai Light Heavyweight champion Cheick Sidibé in his Enfusion debut at Enfusion Live 33 on November 7, 2015. He won the fight by a unanimous decision.[11] Bokeme faced Ibrahim El Boustati at Enfusion Live 46 on February 18, 2017, in his second promotional appearance. He won the fight by a first-round knockout.[12]
Bokeme faced Mehdi Bouanane at Enfusion Live 41 on September 16, 2017.[13] He won the fight by decision.[14][15]
Bokeme fought a rematch with the former Enfusion three weight world champion Ibrahim El Boustati at Enfusion 56 on November 18, 2017. The fight ended in a controversial fashion after the first round, as the referee disqualified Bokeme for what he deemed to be a punch after the round ended, and which resulted in a knockdown of El Boustati.[16] Upon review, the punch was deemed legal,[17] with El Boustati pretending to be hit by an illegal punch. El Boustati would later apologize to Bokeme and congratulate him on his victory.[18]
Bokeme faced Hicham El Gaoui at Enfusion Live 60 on February 10, 2018.[19] He lost the fight by decision. Bokeme next faced Khalid El Bakouri at Enfusion Live 66 on May 5, 2018. He won the fight by unanimous decision.[20]

Bokeme was booked to face Romain Falendry at AMC Collision I on June 11, 2022, following an eighteen-month absence from the sport.[25] He won the fight by decision.[26]
Bokeme was expected to face Serdar Yigit Eroglu at BKK World Kickboxing Championship on October 8, 2022, but he later withdrew from the bout for undisclosed reasons.[27]
