Biography
Assane Diouf was a Senegalese boxer active in French and European boxing. France’s national library identifies him as a Senegalese boxer and gives his life years as 1912–1963.
BoxRec records Conakry as his birthplace and Paris as his boxing hometown. It also preserves conflicting early reports of his birth year: one boxing annual gave 1910, while later contemporary newspaper references support 1912. This profile follows the national-library authority’s 1912–1963 range without pretending that every sporting source agrees.
Diouf appears by name in the archival catalog for a 1939 bout with Bep van Klaveren in Rotterdam. He should not be confused with another person merely because Diouf is a shared surname.
For a real-name entry, the evidence supports Assane Diouf as the public identity and Dioucy as a boxing alias recorded by BoxRec. The consulted references do not establish a different birth surname. A nickname must not be promoted into a separate legal-name claim.
