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. 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)\, as well as EOTTM’s latest recruit Keven Beausejour (2-0\, 2 KO) will also be in action. Plus\, Montreal’s Nickenson Denis will open the show\, making his professional debut for the occasion!

SUMMARY:Mathieu VS. Falcao
DESCRIPTION:Quebec City’s pride\, Wilkens Mathieu\, will return home for the first main event of his career on June 11 at the Théâtre Capitole. It is — by far — the biggest test of his career that awaits him for the occasion\, as Brazilian Esquiva Falcao\, an Olympic silver medalist and former world title challenger\, will come to the Capitale-Nationale looking to take the NABF title from the 21-year-old Quebecer. \n“Many have said that I was too young to face Phinn\, and they will probably say the same thing about Falcao\, but people need to understand that I don’t have time to waste. I already believe I am the best in the world\, so I have to face the best in the world\, and it starts by beating an Olympic medalist — in front of my city — on June 11\,” predicted the youngest top-15 contender in the WBC super middleweight division\, Wilkens Mathieu. \n“Against Shakeel Phinn\, Quebec discovered all of Wilkens’ talent. Against a guy like Esquiva Falcao\, it’s the whole world that will soon discover him\,” added the trainer of the Eye of the Tiger protégé\, Giuseppe Moffa. \nTaking the fast track\, Wilkens Mathieu (15-0\, 10 KOs) made a statement last October when he dominated and dropped Quebec contender Shakeel Phinn on his way to a unanimous decision victory in Montreal. A few months before his 21st birthday\, he captured the NABF super middleweight title\, in addition to entering the world rankings\, where he currently sits at No. 14 with the WBC and No. 15 with the WBA at super middleweight (168 lb). \nHis next opponent\, Esquiva Falcao (32-2\, 21 KOs)\, will not be impressed by the rising star’s record. Wilkens Mathieu was only 7 years old when the Brazilian won the silver medal at the London Olympic Games. \nFalcao then began his rise in the professional ranks\, as Top Rank placed him on its most prestigious cards\, on the undercard of Manny Pacquiao\, on HBO\, and later ESPN. Winning his first 30 fights\, he notably became the first to defeat Quebec contender Patrice Volny\, whom he beat in 6 rounds in 2021. In 2023\, he fought for a world championship against the undefeated Vincenzo Gualtieri\, but lost by decision — in Germany. His only other loss came in another competitive decision in 2024\, this time against Tokyo Olympic champion Hebert Conceição. Since relaunching his career at super middleweight\, the 36-year-old has won his last two fights\, capturing the Brazilian championship in the process last November. \n“I respect my opponent\, I know he is a good fighter\, an undefeated guy. But he has not yet faced a boxer like me: an experienced fighter\, who hits hard\, with a real desire to win. Personally\, I have already fought for the world title and I intend to do it again\, so God will be with me on June 11 — and the victory will go to Brazil\,” promised Olympic medalist Esquiva Falcao. \nBut the Capitale-Nationale will have a double main event on June 11! \nTo precede the #MathieuFalcao showdown\, Témiscouata’s pride\, Leïla Beaudoin\, will cross paths with Colombian contender Paulina Angel in an interim WBA super featherweight world championship bout. \n“I feel grateful for so many reasons. Returning to a world championship so quickly is already incredible\, but being able to do it — for the first time — at home\, in front of my people\, is something else. I know many people will be behind me to support me\, and I plan to thank them by winning my first world title on April 11\,” said the athlete from Bas-Saint-Laurent\, Leïla Beaudoin. \nAs “incredible” as a world title opportunity may be\, Leïla Beaudoin (14-2\, 2 KOs) has certainly done everything to earn it. Last December in Miami\, the Quebecer became the first woman in her nation’s history to fight in a unified world championship contested over 12 three-minute rounds. Despite a decision loss to American Alycia Baumgardner\, Beaudoin delivered a convincing performance\, winning several championship rounds in front of nearly 15 million viewers on Netflix. \nDetermined to come back stronger than ever\, the native of Rivière-du-Loup returned to the ring less than four months later\, on April 9. Facing an opponent who had already been crowned world champion three times\, in Victoria Bustos\, Leïla Beaudoin dominated each of the 10 rounds. Still ranked in the top 5 of the WBA\, WBC\, WBO and IBF world rankings\, the 30-year-old Quebecer was immediately given another opportunity to return to a world championship bout against Paulina Angel. \n“This fight is the result of all the work Leïla has put in over the years. She deserves this opportunity. She has worked with discipline and intelligence to reach this level. We know Angel is a solid opponent\, but we are fully confident of leaving the Capitole with the victory on June 11\,” assured the trainer of the EOTTM protégé\, Samuel Décarie-Drolet. \nSeizing her second chance at a world title will also be the objective of Paulina Angel (7-2-2\, 3 KOs) when she arrives in Quebec City next spring. A 24-year-old athlete from Medellín\, Colombia\, Angel made a strong entry into the professional ranks in October 2020\, scoring three knockouts in as many fights. Fighting in her native Colombia\, as well as in Mexico and Panama\, she eventually became the WBA Latin American super featherweight champion (130 lb). Last August\, she lost by unanimous decision in a world title fight at 135 lb against American Stephanie Han. However\, Angel left a strong impression in Orlando\, dropping the champion in the very first round. Back in the division where she remains undefeated\, the WBA’s No. 7 contender fully intends to surprise Beaudoin. \nAlso on the card on June 11: WBC Continental super middleweight champion Moreno Fendero (14-0\, 10 KOs) will make his first title defense against Puerto Rican puncher Jonathan Gonzalez (21-1-1\, 17 KOs). The pride of Thetford Mines\, Thomas Chabot (12-1\, 8 KOs)\, light heavyweight double continental champion Mehmet Unal (15-0\, 13 KOs)\, EOTTM prospect Erik Israyelyan (5-0\, 3 KOs) and popular Trois-Rivières boxer Daylen Pepin (2-0) will also be in action against opponents to be announced soon.
