Монреаль (Февраль 15, 2022) – Today’s scheduled World Boxing Council (WBC) purse bid has been avoided as Groupe Yvon Michel (СПОРТЗАЛ) announces an agreement has been reached with Titov Promotions, which promotes undefeated mandatory challenger Evgeny Romanov (16-0, 11 КО), России, for WBC Bridgerweight World Champion Oscar “Kaboom” Rivas’ first title defense.
Under this agreement, GYM obtained the rights to promote Rivas’ first WBC defense. “We are very happy with this outcome,” GYM President Yvon Michel said. “I would like to thank Mr. Alex Titov for his co-operation. We intend to hold this world championship in June, in Montreal or possibly in Colombia, where discussions are currently taking place. It was important for us that Oscar defends his crown in a familiar environment.”
Trained by Marc Ramsey, Rivas captured the WBC World title last October 22,winning a unanimous decision over Ryan Rozicki (13-1, 13 КО) at the Olympia in Montreal.
Colombia-native Rivas, who represented his country at the 2008 Олимпийские игры, became the first WBC World Champion in the history of the Bridgerweight Division. Романы, со своей стороны, became the mandatory contender by virtue of his 12-round dominance over compatriot Dmitry Kudryashov (24-5, 23 КО) last May in Khimki, Россия. Romanov had an excellent amateur career, even registering a knockout victory over Deontay Wilder, the future WBC World Heavyweight Champion, in an international tournament.
“I am happy to be able to defend my WBC bridgerweight belt in familiar terrain and quickly,” Rivas commented. “I intend to keep this belt for a long time. В дополнение, whether my promoter GYM has obtained the rights to promote in my adopted city, Монреаль, or in my native country, Колумбия, I feel confident and surrounded by the best. It helps me stay focused on my goals.”
