SUMMARY:Iglesias VS. Shishkin
DESCRIPTION:EOTTM will present a fight of unprecedented magnitude at the Cabaret du Casino de Montréal on September 4. Osleys “El Tornado” Iglesias\, already the IBO world champion\, will face Russian contender Vladimir Shishkin in an IBF eliminator. This highly anticipated clash will headline the event in Quebec and be broadcast around the world — starting at 6:30 p.m. — on Punching Grace. \n“In my eyes\, this is the most important fight ever held at the Casino. The super middleweight division is currently the most competitive in boxing\, and we’ll have the IBF’s top two contenders in the ring\, on our turf\, with a potential fight against ‘Canelo’ Alvarez on the line. We’re raising the bar once again\,” proudly stated Eye of the Tiger president Camille Estephan. \nCurrently holding the IBO world title\, Osleys Iglesias (13-0\, 12 KOs) has been making waves since signing with EOTTM. In 2024 alone\, he secured four knockout victories over Marcelo Coceres\, Evgeny Shvedenko\, Sena Agbeko\, and Petro Ivanov — all delivered in dominant\, even terrifying fashion. That said\, he has no intention of slowing down ahead of the biggest fight of his career\, and against the toughest opponent he’s faced yet. \n“The Tornado is unstoppable. On September 4\, I will be victorious\, defend my IBO title\, and become the IBF mandatory challenger. Step by step\, belt by belt\, I’ll be at the top very soon\,” promises Osleys Iglesias. \n“Osleys will remind everyone why he’s the most avoided and feared fighter in the sport. More importantly\, he’ll once again prove that he’s the best super middleweight in the world\,” adds the powerful Cuban’s manager\, Benedikt Poelchau. \nIf Iglesias wants to prove he’s the top fighter in his division\, he’ll have a golden opportunity to do so against one of the most established and dangerous contenders in the weight class. Vladimir Shishkin (16-1\, 10 KOs) won his first 16 professional fights against notable opponents such as Najib Mohammedi\, DeAndre Ware\, Sena Agbeko\, and Jose Uzcategui. His only career loss came in his last outing\, in October\, when he dropped a controversial decision to William Scull in an IBF world title bout. \n“Iglesias vs. Shishkin is a fight between two of the best yet-to-be-discovered talents in the division. Shishkin lost a razor-thin decision to Scull\, and I’m proud that Salita Promotions was able to secure another major opportunity for him so quickly. Iglesias\, on the other hand\, is an incredible talent who has yet to be tested at the highest level. This matchup is a real treat for boxing fans\, and I’m pleased to be working alongside Camille and Eye of the Tiger — one of the premier organizations in the sport\,” said Salita Promotions president Dmitriy Salita. \nAlso on the card\, two-time Olympian Dzmitry Asanau (10-0\, 4 KOs) will defend his WBC Continental lightweight title\, as well as Jhon Orobio (14-0\, 12 KO) at super-lightweight. Avery Martin Duval (13-0-1\, 7 KOs) will enter the ring for his first scheduled 10-round bouts. EOTTM’s 2024 Prospect of the Year\, Moreno Fendero (11-0\, 9 KOs)\, will step into the ring for his fourth scheduled 8-round fight of 2025. Rising talents Wyatt Sanford (3-0\, 2 KOs) will also return in 6-round bout!

SUMMARY:Spencer VS. Mayer
DESCRIPTION:There will be two main events at the Casino de Montréal on October 30. WBA super-welterweight world champion Mary Spencer will face American two-division world champion and pound-for-pound great Mikaela Mayer in one of the most significant women’s boxing matches ever held in Canada. Then\, in a high-stakes local clash with two titles on the line\, young sensation Wilkens Mathieu will take on Quebec warrior Shakeel Phinn in a highly anticipated super-middleweight clash. \n“Last year\, Mikaela Mayer headlined at Madison Square Garden. This fall\, she’ll be here at the Casino de Montréal. That proves Quebec boxing belongs in the big leagues — and that Mary Spencer doesn’t back down from adversity. Her world title is on the line that night\, and I have no doubt she’s ready to go to war to keep it\,” said Eye of the Tiger president Camille Estephan. \n“Never in a thousand years did I think I’d get the chance to fight Mikaela Mayer. I’ve followed her career a lot\, and as a fan\, I love her style — but what excites me most is that our styles mesh so well that this will be a truly memorable fight. Saying I’m excited is an understatement\, and I hope the fans are too\, because this will be epic\,” promised world champion Mary Spencer. \nA Canadian Olympian at the London Games and a three-time amateur world champion\, Montreal-based Mary Spencer (10-2\, 6 KOs) has developed into a top-level pro. Last September\, she won the WBA super-welterweight world title against Germany’s Naomi Mannes. This past April\, she successfully defended it by dominating former two-time world champion Ogleidis Suarez over 10 rounds\, despite a serious hand injury. Now fully recovered\, Spencer is more determined than ever to win her third straight world title fight. \nAcross the ring\, Mikaela Mayer (21-2\, 5 KOs)\, will be in the unusual position of challenger. An Olympian at the Rio Games\, the Top Rank-promoted native of Los Angeles has held the WBO\, IBF\, and The Ring super featherweight titles. She later moved up to lightweight\, capturing the interim WBC title\, and in September 2024\, won the WBO welterweight world title at The Theater at Madison Square Garden with a hard-fought majority decision over Sandy Ryan. She defended that belt in March\, topping Ryan by unanimous decision in their rematch. \n“I couldn’t get the undisputed fight with Lauren Price\, so rather than take an easy touch\, I looked for the next best challenge\,” Mikaela Mayer said. “Beating Mary Spencer at 154 pounds will make me a three-division world champion\, and although I may be on the smaller side\, I have the necessary skills and experience. I’ll dethrone Mary and then head back down to welterweight to challenge Price. I will be stronger\, sharper\, and better than ever.” \nWhile the Spencer vs. Mayer bout features two established champions\, the Wilkens Mathieu (14-0\, 10 KOs) vs. Shakeel Phinn (27-3-2\, 17 KOs) clash will feature two fighters with something to prove. \n“This is clearly the biggest test of my career — but that doesn’t mean I’ll be tested\,” said a confident Wilkens Mathieu\, a rising EOTTM star and Ring Magazine ambassador. “People always say boxing is about levels\, and on September 30\, I’m going to show everyone — including Shakeel Phinn — that he’s not on mine.” \n“People think this will be a tough fight\, but for Wilkens it’ll look easy. Expect a highlight-reel KO on October 30\,” added his trainer\, Montreal’s Giuseppe Moffa. Mathieu will fight for the NABF and WBC Continental Americas super-middleweight titles. \nBut being the underdog has never intimidated Shakeel Phinn. In May 2024\, “The Jamaican Juggernaut” stepped into the ring at the Casino de Montréal against another undefeated EOTTM fighter\, Erik Bazinyan. Despite being a heavy 8-to-1 underdog\, Phinn shocked everyone by fighting to a draw — a result he believes should have gone in his favor. Determined not to leave anything to the judges this time\, Phinn returns to the Casino with a clear mission. \nAlso on the October 30 card\, three other champions will be in action. Top-10 super-lightweight contender Arthur Biyarslanov (19-0\, 16 KOs) will make his fourth NABF title defense. Top-15 light heavyweight contender Mehmet Unal (13-0\, 11 KOs) will defend his WBC Continental title for the first time\, and top-20 welterweight contender Christopher Guerrero (15-0\, 9 KOs) will make his second defense of the WBC Continental title. Fan favorite Thomas Chabot (11-0\, 8 KOs) will also return to action\, while rising junior amateur world champion Erik Israyelyan (2-0\, 2 KOs) will look to keep his flawless record intact.

SUMMARY:Butler VS. Fondjo
DESCRIPTION:A new injury to Erik Bazinyan has forced EOTTM to revise the main event for November 13. However\, the main event will remain 100% local\, as Montreal’s Stéphane Fondjo will step up to face two-time world title challenger Steven “Bang Bang” Butler at the Casino de Montréal. \n“I’ve been away from my family for weeks\, making sacrifices to prepare for my fight against Erik Bazinyan. If he can’t fight\, that’s his problem\, but I never back down — there was no way I wasn’t fighting on November 13. I’m not afraid of anyone\, and for once\, I’ll be facing an opponent just as hungry as I am. Fans will still get a great local fight\, but in the end\, I’m going to remind everyone — including Fondjo — that I belong on the international level\,” said Steven Butler (36-5-1\, 30 KOs)\, who is finishing the final weeks of his training camp in Connecticut. \nMontrealer Stéphane Fondjo (14-1-1\, 9 KOs)\, originally from Cameroon\, was also already in training camp for a fight scheduled on November 8. Standing over 6’3”\, he was serving as Shakeel Phinn’s main sparring partner ahead of Phinn’s important fight next Thursday against Wilkens Mathieu. Having previously sparred with Christian Mbilli\, Moreno Fendero\, and several other Eye of the Tiger fighters\, Fondjo sees this bout as an opportunity to prove that he\, too\, belongs among the elite — not just in the gym\, but in the ring. \n“To accomplish great things\, you sometimes have to suffer. I left my family behind eight years ago to cross the Atlantic and one day give them a better life. Every day since\, I’ve made sacrifices to achieve that goal. I respect Steven Butler\, but I’ve suffered enough to get here and earn this opportunity. So once we’re in the ring on November 13\, it’ll be him who suffers\,” promised Stéphane Fondjo. \n“Steven Butler is a high-level boxer who’s never turned down a challenge. He’s proving that once again\, and I respect him for it. Both camps will bring the will to win\, but beyond toughness\, I believe Stéphane’s youth and superior athleticism will make the difference\,” said Butler’s trainer\, Ian MacKillop. \nAlthough an intriguing all-local main event remains in place — and the health of athletes remains EOTTM’s top priority — the team cannot hide its disappointment over this third cancellation. \n“I won’t hide it: our entire team is extremely disappointed. And we’re even more so for our fans\, who have been waiting for this fight for months. Our athletes’ health will always be a priority\, but after three consecutive injuries\, it’s clear we’ll need to sit down with Erik to evaluate the next steps in his career\,” said EOTTM President Camille Estephan. \nThe rest of the strong November 13 card\, now headlined by #ButlerFondjo\, remains unchanged. In his first career co-main event\, Montreal-based Jhon Orobio (15-0\, 13 KOs) will make his first defense of his WBC Continental Super Lightweight Title against former world champion Xolisani Ndongeni (33-7\, 19 KOs). \nOn the undercard\, Quebec’s Luis Santana (14-0\, 7 KOs) will face Portugal’s Pedro Manuel Gomes (13-3\, 3 KOs)\, who is coming off a win over Canadian champion Mark Smither. EOTTM’s Prospect of the Year\, Moreno Fendero (12-0\, 10 KOs)\, will fight in his first scheduled 10-round bout against American puncher William Langston (14-4-1\, 9 KOs). Canadian Olympic medalist Wyatt Sanford (4-0\, 2 KOs) will meet Czech fighter Petr Novak (3-0-1\, 2 KOs) in a clash of undefeated boxers. Rising prospect Erik Israyelyan (2-0\, 2 KOs) will continue his development against Chile’s Mario Esparza (2-1). Finally\, Trois-Rivières native Daylen Pepin will make his professional debut in an all-Quebec bout against Alexendre Giraldeau Perron (2-1\, 1 KO).

SUMMARY:Gaumont VS. Hiseni
DESCRIPTION:Alex Gaumont against Ramadan Hiseni\, Imam Khataev vs Adam Deines… And 7 explosive fights on December 11! \nThe Outaouais region will get the best of international boxing on December 11\, as Olympic medalist Imam Khataev defends his NABF light-heavyweight title against former world title challenger Adam Deines at Casino Lac-Leamy. The bout will be featured as the co-main event to the clash between Buckingham’s pride\, Alexandre Gaumont\, and Swiss contender Ramadan Hiseni in Gatineau. \n“I remember watching the world championship fight between Artur Beterbiev and Adam Deines four years ago. I absolutely cannot underestimate him. I also know that boxing fans\, just like me\, know that the judges should have given me the win against David Morrell in New York\, but I plan to remind everyone who the real champion is in Gatineau\, with a spectacular and flawless performance\,” promised the powerful puncher nicknamed “The Destroyer\,” Imam Khataev\, currently in training camp at the Pound 4 Pound Boxing Club in Montréal. \nRanked 7th in the world at light heavyweight by the World Boxing Council (WBC) and the International Boxing Federation (IBF)\, Imam Khataev (10-1\, 9 KOs) was originally set to face top-10 world contender Richard Rivera\, before an injury forced the American to withdraw. The new matchup against Adam Deines (24-3-1\, 14 KOs) promises to be just as — if not more — interesting. The German’s only three losses came against elite competition: a 12-round eliminator against Fanlong Mang\, an 11-round unified world championship bout against Artur Beterbiev\, and an 8-round fight against EOTTM protégé and now interim world champion Albert Ramirez. Two athletes with proven track records on the big stage will therefore face off in Gatineau in a fight that could once again propel the winner to the sport’s highest level. \nOlympian Simon Kean and EOTTM prospect Thomas Chabot were forced to withdraw from the event due to injuries. Despite this\, Punching Grace will still broadcast a seven-fight card as planned\, featuring several local athletes\, on December 11 starting at 6:30 p.m. \nThe pride of Saint-André-Avellin and former world champion\, Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse (7-2\, 1 KO)\, will make her long-awaited return—after more than 16 months of absence. She is scheduled for an eight-round fight (or less) against American boxer and former bare-knuckle fighter Sonya Dreiling (7-9\, 2 KO). This will mark Lepage-Joanisse’s debut in the super-middleweight division (168 lb)\, after having won the WBC world title at 175 lb in 2024. \nIn a ten-round lightweight bout\, EOTTM prospect Avery Martin Duval (14-0-1\, 8 KO) will attempt to continue his rise as he faces Romanian veteran and former European champion James Chereji (22-7\, 10 KO). \nAlso on the card\, in the cruiserweight division\, Montrealer and Mike Moffa protégé Ayoub Maanni (3-0\, 3 KO) will try to keep his perfect record intact against Calgary boxer Anton Tokarchuk (1-2). In a super-featherweight fight\, Boisbriand sensation and four-time Canadian amateur champion Victor Tremblay (1-0\, 1 KO) will take on Alberta’s Wade Hodgson\, who is making his professional debut. And kicking off the event\, in the welterweight division\, Ontario-based boxer and Three Lions Promotions protégé Vadym Klym (1-0) will meet Western Canadian fighter Michael Parker (5-1\, 2 KO) in a third bout scheduled for four rounds.

SUMMARY:Unal VS. Zogaj
DESCRIPTION:Due to a medical issue in Albert Ramirez’s camp\, the intriguing matchup between undefeated boxers Mehmet Unal (14–0\, 12 KOs) and European champion Altin Zogaj (17–0\, 9 KOs)\, still in the light heavyweight division (175 lbs)\, will now headline the event. \nA representative of Turkey at the Rio Olympic Games in 2016\, Mehmet Unal signed with Eye of the Tiger in 2021 as he turned professional. Now living full-time in Montreal\, where he is trained by Marc Ramsay\, he will make his second defense of the WBC Continental title against Zogaj. The powerful puncher is also ranked ninth in the WBC world rankings and will be seeking the biggest win of his career — in his first main event — against Germany’s Altin Zogaj. \nIn the co-main event\, two titles will be on the line. Two-time Olympian Dzmitry Asanau (11-0\, 5 KOs) will defend his WBC Continental title against Spain’s champion Carlos Ramos (18-3-1\, 10 KOs). Born in Belarus\, based in Dubai\, and training in Montreal\, Asanau has enjoyed a meteoric rise since signing with EOTTM. Climbing the world rankings at breakneck speed\, the Samuel Décarie-Drolet protégé is currently ranked No. 4 by the WBC and No. 11 by the IBF.  \nAlso in action\, Thetford Mines favorite Thomas Chabot (11-1\, 7 KOs) will look to return to the win column in a local matchup against Maritime puncher Dominic Babineau (13-2-1\, 11 KOs). This bout will be Chabot’s first scheduled for 10 rounds and will also mark his debut at featherweight (126 lb)\, having recently decided to drop down a division. \nAt lightweight\, Canadian Olympic medalist Wyatt Sanford (5-0\, 2 KOs) will face Alexis Gabriel Camejo (10-5-2\, 1 KO) in a six-round contest. Well known to Quebec fans\, Camejo is one of only two fighters to have gone the distance with highly touted Colombian prospect Jhon Orobio\, and he has also heard the final bell against Dzmitry Asanau. Longueuil’s pride Dante Tice (1-0) will face Argentine’s veteran Gonzalo Manriquez in 4-round junior middleweight clash. Finally\, in a 4-round bout at 175 lb\, Montrealer and former member of Canada’s national team Keven Beausejour (1-0\, 1 KO) will make his Quebec debut against Czech boxer Petr Strnad (4-3-2\, 2 KOs).

SUMMARY:Butler VS. Hiseni
DESCRIPTION:It’s time for revenge for Eye of the Tiger. After seeing Ramadan Hiseni upset Shamil Khataev and Alexandre Gaumont\, two-time world title challenger Steven Butler will look to restore EOTTM’s honor against the Swiss contender in a WBA Continental super middleweight championship bout on March 5 at the Casino de Montréal. \n“Hiseni represents a big risk—I know that better than anyone. For me and EOTTM\, this is a revenge fight\, but for Steven\, it’s his chance to prove he’s a serious contender at super middleweight\,” said Camille Estephan\, president of the Montreal-based promotion. \n“Hiseni has already caused two upsets in Quebec. It’s clear we can’t take him lightly—but enough is enough. On March 5\, the job will get done. If he’s expecting the same result as the first two times\, he’s the one who will be surprised\,” promised Butler. \nMontreal puncher Steven “Bang Bang” Butler (37-5-1\, 31 KOs) is more dangerous than ever since moving up to super middleweight. Over the past year\, he has fought three times\, earned three victories\, and scored three knockouts—most notably winning a rematch against Jose Macias and a local showdown against Stéphane Fondjo. Seeking a fourth straight win\, the 30-year-old veteran is determined not to fall into the same trap as his EOTTM teammates as he prepares for the 44th fight of his career. \n“I believe moving up to super middleweight was the best decision Steven has made in his entire career. Over the last three fights\, I’ve seen him reborn in the gym. He’s stronger\, more powerful\, and has better stamina. He has a champion’s mindset\, and now he has all the tools to become one\,” added Butler’s trainer\, John Scully. \nPride of Zurich\, Switzerland\, Ramadan Hiseni (22-2-2\, 8 KOs) is far from unfamiliar territory as he approaches his third fight in Quebec. In June 2024\, Hiseni spoiled the EOTTM debut of Shamil Khataev by fighting him to a 10-round draw at the Casino de Montréal. Believing he deserved the win\, he rolled up his sleeves and returned to Quebec to challenge Alexandre Gaumont last December. This time\, he left no doubt\, winning by unanimous decision and handing Gaumont the first defeat—and first knockdown—of his career. \n“As with Khataev and Gaumont\, my mindset is the same: veni\, vidi\, vici. I expect the result to be the same as well. To boxing fans around the world: I promise a high-level fight\, and above all\, I promise victory on March 5\,” said Hiseni\, who already has four bouts at super middleweight. \nIn the co-main event\, top-3 WBA world-ranked contender Lenar Perez (15-0\, 14 KOs) will make his long-awaited EOTTM debut. He will vie for the WBC Continental light heavyweight title against the indestructible African veteran Isaac Chilemba (27-10-3\, 11 KOs). Like Hiseni\, this will be Chilemba’s third fight in Quebec. In March 2015\, he handed Vasily Lepikhin his first loss on the undercard of the first Sergey Kovalev–Jean Pascal bout. That November\, he dropped a hotly contested majority decision to Eleider Alvarez. Known for his durability\, the former world title challenger has been stopped only twice in 40 fights. He is also the only man to have gone the distance with feared Osleys Iglesias\, in a 12-round bout in Poland in 2022. \nAdding a fourth championship bout to the card\, WBC Continental super lightweight champion Jhon “El Tigre” Orobio (16-0\, 14 KOs) will make his third title defense against Puerto Rican contender Yomar Alamo (22-5-1\, 13 KOs). Starting the year ranked No. 15 in the WBC world rankings\, Orobio will be seeking a fourth straight knockout after stopping former world champion Xolisani Ndongeni in the second round of their November bout. However\, the Marc Ramsay protégé must beware of “The Magic” Alamo. The 28-fight veteran has delivered competitive performances against Breyon Gorham\, Jamaine Ortiz\, and top prospect Delante “Tiger” Johnson. In 2021\, he even came within one round of upsetting future world champion Liam Paro\, flooring him in the opening round. \nAlso on the card\, former world title challenger Steve “The Dragon” Claggett (39-8-2\, 27 KOs) will make a highly anticipated return after spending 2025 sidelined by injury. EOTTM’s 2024 Prospect of the Year and author of the 2025 EOTTM Knockout of the Year\, Moreno “The Soldier” Fendero (13-0\, 10 KOs)\, will also be back in another scheduled 10-round bout.

SUMMARY:Iglesias VS. Silyagin
DESCRIPTION:The “Boogeyman” is back! IBO Super Middleweight World Champion Osleys Iglesias will attempt to add the vacant IBF world title to his collection when he faces undefeated contender Pavel Silyagin on April 9\, in what is expected to be the biggest boxing event ever presented at the Casino de Montréal. \n“Make no mistake about the challenge ahead of us: Pavel Silyagin is a world-class boxer. However\, we believe Osleys Iglesias has generational talent\, with the potential to be not only among the elite at super middleweight\, but among the global elite — pound-for-pound. For us\, it was unthinkable not to bring this fight home to Montréal\, where we are confident Osleys will prove us right on April 9\,” said Eye of the Tiger President Camille Estephan. \n“It will be a great battle. I know I’m facing a very experienced opponent and I thank him for accepting the challenge. But I believe this opportunity has come to me for a reason. With God by my side\, I will be ready to take what belongs to me. May the best man win — and as always\, that will be me\,” said IBO World Champion Osleys Iglesias. \n“Osleys has dedicated his entire life to this moment\, working relentlessly to earn this opportunity. This is a fantastic matchup — two elite undefeated fighters putting everything on the line for the IBF world title. We have the utmost respect for Silyagin\, who has proven himself at the highest level since his amateur days. However\, I have complete confidence in Osleys\, who in my eyes is by far the best super middleweight in the world\,” added Iglesias’ manager\, Benedikt Poelchau. \nNicknamed “El Tornado\,” Osleys Iglesias (14-0\, 13 KOs) has built a reputation as one of the most feared fighters in boxing in recent years. Since joining Eye of the Tiger in March 2024\, the Cuban southpaw has delivered impressive stoppage victories over Marcelo Coceres\, Evgeny Shevedenko\, Sena Agbeko\, and Petro Ivanov — all inside the distance. In November\, Iglesias secured the most significant win of his career by stopping Vladimir Shishkin in the 8th round to become the IBF mandatory challenger\, at the time when the title was held by Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. \nFollowing Canelo’s surprise defeat to Terence Crawford and Crawford’s subsequent retirement\, the IBF title became vacant. After Alvarez\, Munguia\, Sheeraz\, and Williamson declined negotiations to face Iglesias\, the opportunity ultimately went to IBF’s No. 7-ranked contender\, Pavel Silyagin (16-0-1\, 7 KOs). The 32-year-old Russian is not one to shy away from challenges. Five of his 16 victories have come against previously undefeated opponents. In his most recent and most significant win last July\, he handed Argentine puncher Pablo “Pacman” Corzo his first loss in 24 fights\, dominating him over 10 rounds. Still unbeaten in 17 professional bouts\, Silyagin now aims to become world champion and upset another heavy puncher in Iglesias — in his first fight outside of Russia. \n“When I found out about the official announcement of the IBF title fight with Iglesias — I saw my real chance to leave a mark in history of boxing. Put my name in Russian boxing history. To be honest\, I still can’t believe it’s all real! From what I know — Osleys has got a strong punch and throws punches from different angles regularly. It’s going to be a long and tough fight — before it\, we’ll definitely go with the team into the mountains to build up stamina\, we’ll pay extra attention to that\,” said IBF No. 7 contender Pavel Silyagin. \nAlso in action that evening\, Témiscouata’s former unified world title challenger Leïla Beaudoin (13-2\, 2 KOs) will make her long-awaited return in Quebec. Buckingham puncher Alexandre Gaumont (13-1\, 9 KOs) will look to bounce back from the only loss of his pro career. Montreal’s Luis Santana (15-0\, 7 KOs) will compete for the vacant NABA lightweight title. Eye of the Tiger prospect Erik Israyelyan (4-0\, 2 KOs) will fight in his first scheduled six-round bout. The newest recruit of EOTTM\, Keven Beausejour (2-0\, 2 KOs)\, will look to keep his perfect record intact. Finally\, Montreal’s Stéphane Fondjo (14-2-1\, 9 KOs)\, coming off an explosive fight against Steven Butler\, will also return to action.

SUMMARY:Ramirez VS. Richards
DESCRIPTION:WBA interim light heavyweight world champion Albert Ramirez and former British world champion Lerrone Richards will finally settle their score on June 4 in the main event of a card presented by Eye of the Tiger at the Casino de Montreal. \n“Albert Ramirez holds the interim world title\, but Lerrone Richards has the notoriety and reputation of being one of the most avoided boxers in England. Both have a lot to gain and a lot to lose\, but we are confident that with a victory\, Albert Ramirez’s name will be in all discussions for major fights with Bivol\, Beterbiev\, or Benavidez\,” said EOTTM president Camille Estephan. \nIn August 2025\, Albert Ramirez (22-0\, 19 KOs) captured the WBA interim title by stopping top-10 contender Jerome Papellone in the 7th round of a bout held in front of more than ten thousand spectators in Libya and broadcast globally on DAZN. Ramirez was then scheduled to defend his title on February 5 against Richards before being hospitalized on an emergency basis just 24 hours before the fight. \nHowever\, Ramirez’s absence did nothing to diminish his reputation as one of the best light heavyweights in the world. In addition to his interim crown\, he remains ranked #2 and #4 in his division by BoxRec and Ring Magazine. Now back at 100%\, he intends to make up for lost time by finally settling matters with Richards. \n“Being a champion isn’t just about fighting\, it’s also about knowing how to handle the moments when you can’t. Not being able to step into the ring in February was difficult\, but it now allows me to come back even stronger. On June 4\, there’s no more waiting. I am the champion\, and I’m coming to show it to everyone—Richards first\,” said interim world champion Albert Ramirez. \nIn the opposite corner\, Lerrone Richards (19-1\, 4 KOs) has remained patient over the past four months. The former IBO super middleweight world champion\, who notably defeated former world champions such as Carlos Góngora and Giovanni De Carolis\, says he is more motivated than ever to pull off an upset\, sharing the same ambitions as his opponent. \n“I am delighted to be back fighting at world level. The cancellation of the fight was unfortunate\, but I’m glad it has been rescheduled and looking forward to the encounter. The date has changed\, but the goal stays the same. Albert Ramirez is a top opponent\, and I know what I bring to the table. It’s two of the best in the world at 175 lb facing each other. The goal is about becoming interim champion and putting myself in position to becoming a WBA world champion at 175 lb\,” said Lerrone Richards\, the WBA’s 9th-ranked contender \nAlso in action on June 4\, NABF light heavyweight champion and Tokyo Olympic medalist Imam Khataev (11-1\, 10 KOs) will make his return to Montreal. Two-time Olympian Dzmitry Asanau (12-0\, 6 KOs)\, currently WBC Continental and IBF Intercontinental lightweight (135 lb) champion\, will also put his top-3 world ranking on the line. The electrifying WBC Continental super lightweight (140 lb) champion Jhon Orobio (17-0\, 15 KOs) will aim for a fourth title defense in under a year. In a fight initially scheduled for last March\, Montreal’s Christopher Guerrero (16-0\, 9 KOs) will defend his WBC Continental welterweight (147 lb) title against hard-hitting Gatineau fighter Samuel Rodriguez (12-0\, 11 KOs). Undefeated prospect Avery Martin Duval (15-0-1\, 8 KOs) and Canada’s only Olympic medalist in nearly 30 years\, Wyatt Sanford (6-0\, 2 KOs)\, will also be in action. \nEOTTM will announce an eighth fight in the coming weeks.
