Unal VS. Zogaj

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.

A 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.

In 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. 

Also 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.

At 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).
