 MONTREAL, Canadá (Junho 14, 2016) – Groupe Yvon Michel (GINÁSIO) and Gestev are proud to officially announce, “SHOOTOUT”, the next fight for power-punching Adônis “Super-homem” Stevenson, Julho 29 at Centre Videotron, a presentation of Videotron in association with Mise-O-Jeu. This event is presented as part of the prestigious “Premier Boxe dos Campeões” (PBC) série, to be broadcast live in the United States, and on Canal Indigo in Canada.
Stevenson (27-1, 22 KOs), who established himself as one of the most powerful pound-for-pound fighters in the world, irá defender seu Conselho Mundial de Boxe (WBC) and lineal light heavyweight (175 divisão libra) title for the seventh time, against the dangerous, WBC Não. 9 Classificado Thomas “Melhor cachorro” Williams (20-1, 14 KOs).
“Estou muito feliz por voltar ao ringue para minha próxima luta, que será realizada em julho 29 no excelente Center Videotron de Quebec, contra Thomas Williams Jr.,” Stevenson disse. Vou demonstrar que, como bom vinho, Fico ainda melhor com a idade. Mesmo que eu não tenha lutado por 10 meses, Eu nunca saí da academia e estou disposto a defender minha coroa.”
Williams, de Fort Washington, Maryland, em 28, é 10 anos mais jovem que Stevenson e também canhoto. Ele teve uma carreira amadora de sucesso e é considerado um grande perigo no ringue, como evidenciado por seu 10 vitórias por nocaute em menos de duas rodadas, incluindo suas duas últimas saídas contra renomados Edwin Rodriguez (28-1, 19 KOs) e Umberto Savigne (12-2, 9 KOs).
Em ambas as duas lutas, Williams era um azarão, mas sua determinação e soco letal fizeram a diferença. “There were many who had lost trust in me two years ago after my loss to Gabriel Campillo (24-6-1, 11 KOs),” Williams explained. “I don’t make excuses but there were circumstances that led to this result. I’m coming off the best performance of my career and I’m ready to make a change Julho 29 in terms of the holding title belt. Stevenson has never faced a puncher like me in the past.”
“We are proud to start our association with Gestev and Centre Videotron with this gala event,” Presidente GYM Yvon Michel adicionado. “Adonis Stevenson became the WBC light heavyweight champion in June 2012 and since then 15 de 16 other WBC titles have changed hands. Somente Shinsuke Yamanaka, of Japan, is still champion. Other fights on the Julho 29th card will include a group of ambitious, talented boxers, promising a show with intense fighters making statements.”
Na co-metragem, current WBC Silver light heavyweight champion and WBC No. 1 contendor, Eleider Alvarez (19-0, 10 KOs), will attempt to maintain his position as the WBC mandatory challenger against Maximiliano Gomez (22-5, 9 KOs), of Argentine.
Also scheduled to be in action are Nova Scotia native and adopted Montreal fighter Custio Clayton (8-0, 7 KOs), who will attempt to continue his rise in the welterweight division, Quebec heavyweight Eric Martel Bahoeli (11-6, 7 KOs) will realize his dream to fight in Videotron Centre, charismatic Montreal welterweight Ulysse júnior (10-0, 7 KOs) e meio-médio Marie Eve DiCaire (4-0) are also slated to be in action.
