Lorcy finally became world champion in his fourth attempt when he won the WBA lightweight title in 1999 after upsetting countryman Jean Baptiste Mendy. He lost the title in his first defense to Italian Stefano Zoff later that year.
Lorcy captured the WBA lightweight title again in 2001 with a decision over Takanori Hatakeyama, but again lost the title in his first defense to Raul Horacio Balbi. He retired in 2004 after a loss to Juan Díaz in a final bid for the WBA title.
