Лучијан Буте (Л) is fighting for a chance at his 14тх свет борба за титулу
МОНТРЕАЛ (Фебруар 16, 2017) – Former world super middleweight champion Лучијан Буте plans to parlay his February 24тх Canadian showdown with undefeated World Boxing Council (ВБЦ) Silver light heavyweight champion Елеидер “Олуја” Алварез into his 14тх world title fight later this year.
The 36-year-old Bute (32-3-1, 25 КОс) is challenging Colombia-native Alvarez (21-0, 10 КОс) for his WBC Silver title belt in the 12-round main event headlining “BUTE VS. ALVAREZ”, promoted by Groupe Yvon Michel (ТЕРЕТАНА) and Gestev, a presentation of Videotron and Mise-O-Jeu, at Videotron Centre in Quebec City, Канада.
Bute also hopes to become the first Romanian-born boxer to capture world titles in two different weight classes as the Bute-Alvarez winner in this final WBC eliminator will become the mandatory challenger for his GYM stablemate, reigning WBC and lineal light heavyweight champion Адонис “Натчовек” Стивенсон (28-1-0, 23 КОс).
Integrated Sports Media will distribute “BUTE VS. ALVAREZ” live in the United States, са почетком у 8 п.м. И / 5 п.м. ПТ, on cable, satellite and internet pay-per-view via iN Demand, Вубикуити, ДИРЕЦТВ, DISH and the FITE app for a suggested retail price of only $29.95.
In Canada, “BUTE VS. ALVAREZ” will be available to watch, in English or French, on Canal Indigo, Shaw TV and Bell TV; English-only on Rodgers PPV, as well as in many of the top Canadian sports bars.
Outside of North America, “BUTE VS ALVAREZ” is being distributed by leading boxing television rights distribution firm, Protocol Sports Marketing Ltd.
Bute was one of the world’s top pound-for-pound fighters for nearly five years (Нов. 19, 2007-Мај 26, 2012) as the International Boxing Federation (ИБФ) 168-фунта подела шампион. The classy southpaw is 10-2-1 (8 КОс) in world title fights and he has defeated six world champions: Dingaan Thobela, Саки Бик, Alejandro Berrio, Вилијам Јоппи, Brian Magee и Глен Џонсон during his outstanding 13-year pro boxing career.
Now ranked No. 7 по ВБЦ, Bute is as hungry as he’s every been for one more world title shot opportunity. “I am fighting an undefeated Olympian who is the No. 1 рангиран у полутешкој категорији,” Буте је рекао. “A win will conform that I deserve a 14тх world championship fight. То значи све мени. I took this fight because it’s the shortest road for me to get a world title shot.
“I expect a technical fight. Alvarez is gifted and he has a good jab, but my experience and speed will make the difference. I will definitely win!”
