MONTREAL (Febrero 14, 2017) – Undefeated World Boxing Council (CMB) Campeón de plata semipesado Eleider “Tormenta” Alvarez is on a mission to showcase his talent throughout the boxing world, Febrero 24 against former world super middleweight champion Lucian Bute, to completely justify his No. 1 contender position.
The 32-year-old Alvarez (21-0, 10 KOs) will defend his WBC Silver title belt against Bute (32-3-1, 25 KOs) in the 12-rounder headlining “PERO VS. ALVAREZ”, promovido por Groupe Yvon Michel (GIMNASIO) y Gestev, una presentación de Videotron y Mise-O-Jeu, en el Videotron Center de la ciudad de Quebec, Canadá.

Fighting out of Montreal, Alvarez is a Colombia native who is ranked No. 1 por el CMB, así como No. 4 por El Anillo revista. In addition to Alvarez defending his WBC Silver title against Bute, their main event showdown will also be the final WBC eliminator to determine the mandatory challenger for the winner’s GYM stablemate, actual campeón del CMB y peso semipesado lineal Adonis “Superhombre” Stevenson (28-1-0, 23 KOs).
Alvarez was already Stevenson’s mandatory challenger, sin embargo, he agreed to put everything on the line in a risky confrontation with former IBF super middleweight champion Bute, as opposed to waiting until later this year for his title shot with Stevenson. In addition to being well compensated, Alvarez had several other reasons to accept this immense challenge against Bute.
“It is a very good opportunity for me, fighting a good opponent who is very popular, especially in Canada,” the odds favorite Alvarez said. “He’s is a southpaw, like Stevenson, plus it’s also a good opportunity for me to rise my popularity. And with all due respect to Bute, someone unable to beat Bute doesn’t deserve a shot at Stevenson.
“Our fight will probably be a boxing chess match, but because of the local angle, at some point our fight will turn emotional. I will retire Lucian Bute for good February 24º!”
