 MONTREAL, Canada (Juni 14, 2016) – Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) and Gestev are proud to officially announce, “SHOOTOUT”, the next fight for power-punching Adonis “Superman” Stevenson, Julai 29 at Centre Videotron, a presentation of Videotron in association with Mise-O-Jeu. This event is presented as part of the prestigious “Premier Boxing Mabingwa” (PBC) mfululizo, 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, atawalinda Boxing Baraza la Dunia wake (WBC) and lineal light heavyweight (175 chupa mgawanyiko) title for the seventh time, against the dangerous, WBC No. 9 lilipimwa Thomas “Juu Mbwa” Williams (20-1, 14 Kos).
“I am very happy to get back in the ring for my next fight, which will be held July 29 in the superb Centre Videotron of Quebec, against Thomas Williams Jr.,” Stevenson alisema. I will demonstrate that, like fine wine, I am even better with age. Even though I haven’t boxed for 10 miezi, I’ve never left the gym and I’m willing to defend my crown.”
Williams, of Fort Washington, Maryland, katika 28, ni 10 years younger than Stevenson and also left-handed. He had a successful amateur career and is reputed to be a major danger in the ring as evidenced by his 10 victories won by knockout in less than two rounds, including his last two outings against renowned Edwin Rodriguez (28-1, 19 Kos) na Umberto Savigne (12-2, 9 Kos).
In both of those two fights, Williams was an underdog, but his determination and lethal punch made the difference. “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 Julai 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,” Mazoezi rais Yvon Michel aliongeza. “Adonis Stevenson became the WBC light heavyweight champion in June 2012 and since then 15 ya 16 other WBC titles have changed hands.
