Montreal (Iúil 23, 2016) – Undefeated No. 1 contender trom éadrom Eleider “Storm” Alvarez (19-0, 10 Kos) has found a solid boxer to face him on the Iúil 29 cárta, featuring the WBC and lineal world light heavyweight title fight between defending champion Vernalis “Superman” Stevenson (27-1, 22 Kos) agus iomaitheoir Thomas Williams Jr. (20-1, 14 Kos), at the Videotron Centre. WBC Silver light heavyweight champion Alvarez will face New Zealand southpaw slugger Robert “The Butcher” Berridge (27-4-1, 21 Kos).
The Alvarez-Berridge co-feature, sceidealta le haghaidh 10 rounds at a 180-pound catch-weight, will air on Spike TV sna Stáit Aontaithe. Named “The Butcher” because of his aggressive style and power, the 31-year-old Australian sputhpaw has won the several regional titles during his pro career including New Zealand (2013 agus 2015), WBC Asia (2013), PABA (2013-2014) and WBO Oriental (2013-2014).
“I prepared to face a southpaw in Chad Dawson and Berridge is also left-handed, so adapting will be easier,” Alvarez said. “I tip my hat to him for accepted this challenge with only a 10-day notice
“Cinnte, I am really disappointed in Dawson’s withdrawal, but these things happen that you cannot control. I’m still happy to get in the ring of the Vidéotron Centre in Quebec City.”
“Berridge is an aggressive, powerful and fierce fighter,” Groupe Yvon Michel president (Giomnáisiam) Yvon Michel chur leis. “We are pleased to have found an opponent of this quality to face Alvarez in front of the Spike TV cameras.”
