SUMMARY:Perez VS. Mchunu
DESCRIPTION:WBA Continental cruiserweight champion Lenar Perez will face the toughest test of his career on September 3 when he takes on two-time world title challenger Thabiso “The Rock” Mchunu in the main event of an Eye of the Tiger card at the Casino de Montréal. \n“When I signed with EOTTM\, I knew the challenges would be there. Thabiso Mchunu has a wealth of experience against the very best in the world. This is exactly the kind of fight that will allow me to prove that I belong among the elite of the division myself\,” said four-time Cuban national amateur champion Lenar Perez. \n“We believe Lenar Perez is the best cruiserweight in the world\, and while we wait for the opportunity to prove it against Jai Opetaia or David Benavidez\, we intend to send a clear message to them and the entire division through Mchunu on September 3\,” added EOTTM President Camille Estephan. \nBoasting one of the most decorated amateur careers in boxing\, Lenar Perez (16-0\, 14 KOs) wasted no time making an impact in the professional ranks. After winning his first 14 bouts by stoppage\, the fighter nicknamed “The Cuban Prince” traveled to Russia and defeated former world title challenger Aleksei Egorov on hostile territory. He then signed a long-term agreement with EOTTM and made his North American debut last March\, completely shutting out former world title challenger Isaac Chilemba. Currently ranked No. 3 by the WBA\, No. 9 by the IBF\, No. 11 by the WBO\, and No. 18 by the WBC\, Perez is looking to secure the biggest opportunities of his career by winning his first main event on Quebec soil. \nSouth African boxer Thabiso Mchunu (25-8\, 14 KOs)\, however\, is no stranger to the world level—or to those seeking to reach it. In 2013\, in Connecticut\, Mchunu spoiled American heavyweight Eddie Chambers‘ cruiserweight debut. In 2014\, in Atlantic City\, he captured the NABF title from Nigerian puncher Olanrewaju Durodola. In 2016\, live on HBO\, he received his first world title opportunity against none other than Oleksandr Usyk\, engaging in a hard-fought nine-round battle. Then\, after defeating former world champions Thomas Oosthuizen (2018) and Denis Lebedev (2019)\, he returned to the world title stage in 2022\, falling by split decision to Junior Makabu in a fight many observers believed he had won. Having resumed his quest for a third world title shot\, “The Rock” will be seeking a third consecutive victory when he faces Perez. \nWhile the main event carries an international flavor\, the co-feature will add a local touch to the evening\, as Montreal fighters Moreno Fendero (15-0\, 11 KOs) and Stephane Fondjo (15-2-1\, 10 KOs) square off for the WBC Continental Americas super middleweight title. \n“I have a lot of respect for Stephane\, but once we’re in the ring\, there will be no more respect. We’ve sparred together before. We know each other well\, so we’re going to give everyone a great fight\, but I’ll just say that the Soldier has a nice surprise in store for him\,” commented defending champion Moreno “The Soldier” Fendero\, currently ranked No. 25 in the WBC world rankings. \n“Whenever we can make local fights like this happen\, we do it. It’s an important step in a boxer’s career. It adds a psychological dimension that Moreno will have to navigate for the first time\,” noted EOTTM Head Trainer and Director of Development Marc Ramsay. \n“Unlike many boxers\, Stephane isn’t interested in padding his record—he wants to fight the best. After 18 professional fights\, I believe he’s ready to beat the best. I like Moreno\, but I have no doubt that Stephane will hand him his first defeat\,” stated trainer Ian MacKillop\, whose fighter engaged in a fierce battle with Steven Butler despite a shortened training camp in November 2025. \nAlso scheduled to compete on September 3 are two-time Prospect of the Year nominee Jhon Orobio (18-0\, 16 KOs)\, Canada’s most recent Olympic medalist Wyatt Sanford (7-0\, 3 KOs)\, Eye of the Tiger’s Montreal-based prospect Keven Beausejour (3-0\, 3 KOs)\, Boisbriand prospect Victor Tremblay (3-0\, 3 KO) and former 3-time national amateur champion Nickenson Denis (1-0\, 1 KO).

SUMMARY:Iglesias VS. Zaren
DESCRIPTION:The Théâtre Capitole of Quebec City will be the site of a historic night on October 8\, as EOTTM presents a card featuring a record nine titles on the line\, including three world championships. Osleys Iglesias will defend his unified IBF and IBO titles against undefeated Oliver Zaren\, while Wilkens Mathieu will face Vladimir Shishkin in a bid to retain his NABF title. \n“Historic is a term that is often overused in sports\, but this time\, the numbers speak for themselves: nine titles on the line at a single card in Quebec is simply unprecedented. It is all the more exciting for us to present an event of this magnitude at the Capitole\, one of the most beautiful venues in North America\, where every seat gives our fans the opportunity to be at the heart of the action\,” said Eye of the Tiger President Camille Estephan. \nIn the main event\, one of the most feared champions in boxing\, Osleys ‘El Tornado’ Iglesias (15-0\, 14 KO)\, will make the first defense of his IBF world title\, as well as the fifth defense of his IBO super-middleweight title. Last April\, the Cuban-born fighter captured the vacant IBF title by handing Russia’s Pavel Silyagin his first defeat\, forcing him to retire after eight rounds. Prior to that\, Iglesias earned his world title opportunity by stopping another Russian contender\, Vladimir Shishkin\, also in the eighth round. Those two stoppage victories are a reflection of his career as a whole: with an impressive 93% KO ratio\, Iglesias leads all current world champions\, across all weight classes\, in that category. \nUndefeated contender Oliver ‘The Great Dane’ Zaren (19-0-1\, 8 KO)\, however\, has no fear of stepping into the eye of the storm as he looks to write his own page in history. A former super-middleweight Intercontinental champion and current IBF #5 world contender\, the Dane has fought across Europe\, including for the European title. He is now trained by none other than legendary Mikkel Kessler\, considered by many to be the greatest Danish boxer of all time. Zaren will therefore arrive in Québec with the ambition of becoming the first Dane since his mentor to bring a world title back home. \n“This fight is a dream come true for me\, a dream I have cherished since childhood\, and one that will ultimately come true with my victory. Osleys Iglesias is strong\, tall\, powerful\, and I know he scares even the world’s elite… but not me\, because I know my level. On October 8\, I will not come in Quebec City as a visitor. I will come as a conqueror\,” said Scandinavian warrior Oliver Zaren. \nIn the co-main event\, the youngest contender in the world’s top 15 at super-middleweight\, Wilkens Mathieu (16-0\, 11 KO)\, will look to continue his rapid rise as he defends his North American (NABF) title against former world title challenger Vladimir Shishkin (17-2\, 11 KO). Last June\, the Québec fighter became the first to stop Olympic medalist Esquiva Falcao\, in the first main event of the first gala held at the Capitole de Québec. That victory\, following his October win over Shakeel Phinn\, propelled the Québec native into the rankings of all four major sanctioning bodies in his division\, including #8 WBC\, #14 WBA\, and #15 WBO and IBF. However\, the 21-year-old athlete is not aiming for the top 15\, top 10\, or even top 5. He has his sights set on the summit\, and he intends to get there sooner rather than later. \n“After beating Vladimir Shishkin\, William Scull and Osleys Iglesias both went on to fight for world titles. So I sincerely hope the same thing happens for me\, because I already feel ready to beat anyone in the world at 168 pounds\,” said the ever-confident Wilkens Mathieu. \nLike Mathieu\, Québec headliner Leïla Beaudoin (15-2\, 2 KO) will also return to the Capitole de Québec for her second consecutive fight at the venue. After winning the WBA interim world championship at super-featherweight by dominating Colombia’s Paulina Angel last June\, the Bas-Saint-Laurent native\, who became the third Québec woman in history to win a world title\, will make her first defense against a contender to be announced shortly. \n“My training camp has just begun\, but I already feel ready to face anyone. Winning a world title is one thing and defending it is another\, but once again\, I’ll have the crowd behind me and I don’t intend to disappoint my fans on October 8\,” said Témiscouata’s pride and joy\, Leïla Beaudoin. \nIn what will be the first fight between two EOTTM fighters in more than five years\, two-time Olympian and two-time (WBC and IBF) continental lightweight champion\, Dzmitry Asanau (13-0\, 7 KO)\, will face Montreal’s NABF champion\, Luis Santana (16-0\, 7 KO)\, in another clash between undefeated fighters. \n“We’re talking about a ‘Tiger vs. Tiger’ fight\, but in the jungle\, only one can be king. And the crown isn’t given\, it’s taken\,” said Luis Santana\, who was victorious in a local showdown in his most recent outing against Montreal’s Chann Thonson. \n“Our motto is simple: we refuse no one. I have a lot of respect for Luis Santana and his team. He is a man and a boxer I appreciate\, but this time\, our paths cross. One zero will have to disappear from someone’s record\, and I intend to make sure it isn’t Dzmitry’s\,” said the trainer of the Belarusian-born fighter\, Samuel Décarie-Drolet\, whose protégé is ranked #3 by the WBC and #4 by the IBF. \nThe card will also feature the return of Marc Ramsay protégé\, Olympic medalist and top-five world contender Imam Khataev (12-1\, 11 KO)\, who will defend his NABF light heavyweight title against Irish contender Padraig McCrory (20-2\, 10 KO). The next generation will also be showcased on this eight-fight card. In an all-Québec clash\, Lanaudière boxer Jacob Blais (0-1) will take on Capitale-Nationale native Yoan Trottier (0-2)\, while popular Trois-Rivières native Daylen Pepin (2-1) will also be in action against an opponent to be announced shortly.

SUMMARY:Orobio VS. Cedeno
DESCRIPTION:A FIRST MAIN EVENT FOR JHON OROBIO\, LENAR PEREZ IN ACTION AND STEVEN BUTLER VS. ERIK BAZINYAN ON NOVEMBER 12 IN MONTREAL! \nAfter 19 wins in as many fights and a meteoric rise through the world rankings\, Jhon Orobio is ready for the next step. On November 12\, at the Cabaret du Casino de Montréal\, Eye of the Tiger will hand the reins of a main event to its 22-year-old Colombian prodigy for the very first time. \n“I made it a point of honour to give Jhon Orobio his first main event after his last fight. It’s one thing for us\, as promoters\, to say that our boxers are the best\, but in this case\, it’s practically unanimous. His two nominations for The Ring Magazine awards already prove it\, but I would add that after the fight against Moran\, a WBC executive told me that he already believed Jhon was capable of beating anyone in the division\,” said EOTTM President Camille Estephan. \nWidely regarded as one of the best young talents in the sport\, Jhon Orobio (19-0\, 17 KO) was nominated for The Ring Magazine Prospect of the Year award in 2024 and 2025. Already a two-time WBC and WBA continental champion at super-lightweight (140 lbs)\, he has won and defended his titles by demolishing Zsolt Osadan\, Ivan Basurto\, Xolisani Ndongeni\, Yomar Alamo\, Jonathan Montrel and Antonio Moran over the past 18 months alone. With 17 stoppage wins in 19 fights\, an impressive 89% rate\, Orobio has quickly carved out a place among the elite of his division. At just 22 years old\, the protégé of Marc Ramsay is already ranked No. 7 in the world by both the WBC and WBA\, while also holding the No. 12 spot in the IBF rankings. \nBut Orobio’s rise in Quebec has not taken place solely inside the ring. Arriving in Montréal in 2023 without speaking French\, the Colombian learned the language in just three years\, demonstrating his desire to fully integrate into his new home and the community that quickly embraced him. \n“It is a great honour for me. The trust my team has in me is worth its weight in gold in my eyes\, so I don’t intend to disappoint them\, nor the Montréal public that welcomed me so warmly when I arrived here in 2023. I will continue to train hard to put on a performance that will allow me to thank them on November 12\, and at the same time\, prove that I am the best\,” said the fighter known as “El Tigre.” \nThe co-main event will feature Lenar Perez (17-0\, 15 KO)\, who will make a quick return to the ring after scoring one of the biggest victories of his career on September 3. That night\, the WBA continental cruiserweight (200 lbs) champion stopped two-time world title challenger Thabiso Mchunu in the eighth round\, becoming the first boxer to accomplish the feat since Oleksandr Usyk in 2016. Now ranked No. 4 in the world by the WBA\, No. 9 by the IBF and No. 10 by the WBO\, the powerful Cuban now wants to capitalize on his momentum and continue his progression toward his first world championship fight. \nWhile Orobio and Perez look to solidify their places among the world elite\, two familiar faces to Quebec boxing fans will have something very different to prove on November 12 — both to EOTTM and to themselves. Steven Butler and Erik Bazinyan will square off in a pivotal bout that could very well determine the direction of their respective careers. \n“I recently stated that I wanted to see Steven Butler retire\, and I won’t hide from that. His health is\, and always will be\, my priority. That being said\, the final decision was Steven’s\, and out of respect and honour for everything we have accomplished together over 45 fights\, I told him that if he can prove to me that he still has what it takes for one last run\, I would be ready to do it alongside him\,” commented Camille Estephan\, who has worked with Butler since 2014. \nLast June\, two-time world title challenger Steven Butler (38-6-1\, 32 KO) delivered a valiant performance at the legendary Madison Square Garden\, where he notably sent hard-hitting New Yorker Edgar Berlanga to the canvas. But if the Montréal native wants to prove that he can keep the flame burning\, his opponent\, Laval’s Erik Bazinyan (32-1-1\, 23 KO)\, will have to show that he still possesses it as well. Out of the ring since his September 2024 fight against Jaime Munguia\, “Bzo” has since withdrawn from the aforementioned fight against “BangBang” on three occasions\, prompting EOTTM to suspend the Armenian-born boxer. Saying that he has overcome his demons\, and having displayed impeccable dedication in training over the past few months\, Bazinyan now says he is ready to return stronger than ever. \nThe opponents for the main event and co-main event will be announced in the coming days\, as will those for the undercard. The latter will include undefeated prospect Avery Martin Duval (16-0-1\, 8 KO)\, Canadian Olympic medallist Wyatt Sanford (8-0\, 4 KO)\, EOTTM’s newest signing\, Keven Beausejour (4-0\, 4 KO)\, as well as five-time Golden Gloves champion Nickenson Denis (2-0\, 2 KO).
