“CHRONO AVIATION Boxing Series” is presented by Mise-O-Jeu, in association with Videotron, at the Cabaret du Casino de Montréal.

Cabrera, who started his career in 2009, has power in both hands with 11 knockouts nyob rau hauv nws 12 victories to date.
A native of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu in Quebec, Bossé clearly needs boxing experience before he steps up to face elite opponents in 10 or 12-round fights, tab sis Michel Hamelin and the R.A.C.J. demanded that the former UFC star make his boxing debut in a six-round match, rather than the more traditional four-rounder for a debut fight.
“Don’t look for finesse, she won’t be at the rendezvous! ‘The Boss’ wants and must quickly face a brawler. said the vice president of operations and recruiting at Groupe Yvon Michel (Gym), Bernard Barré.
The 36-year-old, Bossé had 14 pro MMA fights, compiling ib qho impressive 12-2-0 (9 Kos) cov ntaub ntawv, kuj muaj 2-1-0 (1 KO) in the UFC.

He also won the Ringside MMA light heavyweight (205 lbs.) title belt, needing only 2:45 to stop Ontario’s Craig Brown (6-1-0), Cuaj hlis 19, 2009, at the Claude-Robillard sports Complex.
Prior to his MMA fighting, Bossé was recognized as the “champion skater” in the North American Hockey League (LNAH), when he was a fan favorite who has more than 300 entertaining fights.
He got his nickname, “Tus thawj” after a brief career in amateur boxing as a heavyweight, in which he faced the tournament champion of the Battle of the Hockey Enforcers, Dean “Cov Tshuab” Mayrand, pro MMA fighter Jacques Dubé, in addition to officers on skates, Justin Leinhos and Louis Bédard.
Marie Eve-Dicaire in NABF title fight
Nyob rau hauv lub co-featured kev tshwm sim, charismatic Marie Eve Dicaire (10-0) continues her march towards a world title Katia “La Leona” Alvarino (8-4-1, 3 Kos), of Uruguay, for the vacant North American Boxing Federation (NABF) junior middleweight title. The winner will be better positioned for a future world title fight.
“Marie-Eve can climb one step closer to the heights of women’s boxing. This fight represents a rendezvous with glory,” Barré added.
DiCaire, a former karate world champion, is undefeated in pro boxing, coming off a unanimous eight-round decision over Mexican invader Patty Ramirez (11-4) no yav dhau losKaum Ob Hlis Ntuj 7 at the Cabaret du Casino de Montréal.
Alvarino’s last two appearances were in world title fights. In her last outing, back on Lub kaum hli ntuj 21 in Montevideo, she lost as hard fought 10-round unanimous decision to International Boxing Federation Junior Middleweight World Champion Chris Namus(24-4, 8 Kos).
Mikael Zewski also fighting on loaded Feb. 15th card

The latter notably lost a 10-round unanimous decision to American hopeful Erickson Lubin (13-0-0, 9 Kos) a year ago in Florida.
Zewski, who will be on his third outing under the GYM banner, won his last confrontation by knockout of Argentinian Enrique Martin Escobar (17-3, 14 Kos) kawgKaum Ob Hlis Ntuj 7 at the Casino de Montréal. With an impressive win over Macias, Zewski will be in line a North American championship title shot.
A protégé of former world champion Lucian Bute, Welterweight Bruno Bredicean (9-0, 3 Kos), as well as the spectacular welterweight prospect Jessica “The Cobra” Camara (3-0) will also see action.
Bredicean will face an opponent to be determined, while Camara will be opposed byGuadalupe “Pantera” Lincer Ortiz (2-5-0, 1 KO), of Mexico.

“Kuv yuav tsum tau tos kuv lub npe tiv thaiv thiab tom qab ntawd kuv muaj ntau cov hais mav tsis teb hu rau kev sib ntaus. Kuv muaj txoj siv thiab kuv tseem yuav tsum tau hu rau lwm tus hais mav tawm. Lamon Peterson teb tus hu zoo li lub dav hlau tua tiag.
“Hauv lub ntiaj teb zoo meej Kuv yuav muab kev sib tham nrog Keith Thurman lub xyoo no. Kuv yuav tawm tsam peb zaug nyob rau xyoo no txawm hais tias. Koj tsis tau lub sijhawm rov qab. Kuv npaj tau tawm tsam tam sim no.
“Kuv tsuas yog zoo siab rau kev sib ntaus. Kuv nyiam mus tua. Kuv tos tsis tau nyob rau pem hauv ntej ntawm cov teeb ci ntsa iab nyob rau hauv pem hauv ntej ntawm tus kiv cua. Brooklyn yog qhov chaw zoo rau kev sib ntaus thiab kuv tsev neeg los ntawm thaj chaw tuaj yeem pom kuv nyob. Kuv tsis tuaj yeem tos kom tso kuv cov kev txawj ntse.
“Ib tus yeej tseeb tsis tuaj yeem sib ntaus txhua tus neeg uas hu lawv tawm, Nws tseem yog kev lag luam. Tab sis ib tug yeej muaj kev sib tw sib ntaus sib tua lwm haiv neeg, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog thaum lawv muaj. Koj tsis tuaj yeem zam cov lus nug thiab sim ncua kev sib ntaus. Koj ntaus tus yeej tom ntej uas muaj, that’s what a true champion does.”
LAMONT Peterson
“When I got into boxing, I had goals. First I wanted to be a National Champion, then a world champion as a professional, but the ultimate goal is to be in the Hall of Fame. With that being my goal, I wouldn’t put myself in that conversation yet. With wins over a guy like Errol Spence and the other top welterweights, I think I’m right there in it. That’s my goal and I’ll give it my all to get there.
“If you left it to me I’d fight every month. That’s how much I love the sport. I know a victory would help me get in the ring even more often. Sometimes if you lose at the top level, other top guys don’t want to take a chance against you. I can fix all of that this weekend
“I don’t worry about any negativity. My resume is written in the history books. All I can do is respect the opinion of others and work hard to get this win.
“I’m excited and looking forward to the skill level that’s going to be displayed this weekend. It’s going to be a rough fight for sure. But I look forward to the technique and skill level. Qhov tiv thaiv, offense and transitioning between the two. That’s the part of boxing that I love.
“Errol even taking the Kell Brook fight was impressive to me. Most guys in his position take their time leading up to the first title shot, but he ended up fighting someone in his prime in his country. To will himself to that win was very impressive.
“When you get to the big stages and those big fights, you have to win more than you lose. I think if I can win some big fights these next few years my career will be in a good place.”
Robert EASTER
“I have no concerns fighting a southpaw. I made my last fight hard, but this time I’m going to use my reach, my feet and my speed to dominate.
“I’m looking for a great performance. This is going to be the best Robert Easter the fans have ever seen. We prepared to dominate this fight.
“Javier Fortuna is an accomplished fighter but I don’t know too much about him. I know what I came to do. I’m a world champion and everyone knows what I bring to the fight game. I won’t leave without my strap.
“I’m ready to fight the best in this sport. I want to become the man at this weight and I know I have to beat the other champions to do that.
“Boxing is all about showing you’re the best and fighting the best. I just want to fight these other champions in my weight class. I’m looking to stay healthy in 2018 and remain on top.”
Javier FORTUNA
“I have no excuses on Lub ib hlis ntuj 20. I hope he doesn’t either. I will be taking that title to the Dominican Republic for my fans. I’ve been dreaming about it and I will take it.
“I have the style and the skills to beat Robert Easter. I know how to make sure his height does not affect me at all. Everyone will see it on fight night.
“I’ve prepared myself very well. I have a plan to win every round. If he’s able to stand there, I’m going to break him down round by round.
“I am fighting for more than just myself and that is why I’ll be successful. I am going to prove that I’m truly one of the top fighters in the sport.
“Robert Easter is a fighter I respect, but I believe I can defeat anyone in front of me. If he takes me lightly, it will go even worse for him. I’ve been training hard to make sure I’m at my absolute best on fight night.
“A win would be great for my country, my fans and my family. Winning this title is everything for me. That’s why I’m here and I will not be stopped.”
DERRICK YAKAUNPAU, Spence tus kws qhia
“I started training Errol about nine years ago but I never really knew just how special he was until about a year or so into our training. I thought Olympics were definitely possible, because I didn’t want to look too far ahead. Now that we’re here, I think he can beat any of the top guys. I want him to be undisputed welterweight champion just like he wants to be.
“I never worry about comparing Errol to other guys in the sport. He’s a hard puncher who breaks ribs and breaks faces. The longer the fight goes, the more pain he inflicts. I’ve never seen anybody who punches that hard.
“I think Lamont knew when he moved up to welterweight that this fight would be a possibility. It’s time for us to go to work because I know Lamont and Barry Hunter are working on a game plan. They have a great team and I know Lamont will be ready for what we bring.”
Barry yos hav zoov, Peterson lub tus kws qhia
“We stay in the gym all the time. We didn’t have to deal with the weight monster this camp. Weight issue can really derail a camp leading up to a fight of this magnitude. We didn’t have to deal with any of that.
“There are several different things in Errol’s arsenal that I think we can exploit. Errol will make adjustments though, so I think strategy will be a key in this fight.
“Lamont has always been a coach’s dream. He’s the type of athlete that you would love to coach. He does everything a coach asks of him. He will train until he passes out. All he wants is to work hard and compete.”
Lou DIBELLA, Thawj Tswj Hwm ntawm DiBella Lom ze
“This is a great night for boxing. The first January date of the year drums up a lot of excitement and we expect a great turnout nyob rau hnub Saturday hmo nyob rau ntawm Barclays Center. It’s going to be a great crowd and an exciting night from top to bottom.
“Errol Spence Jr. is one of the best young fighters in the world testing himself against another great fighter in Lamont Peterson It’s the best fighting the best. Lamont Peterson is a guy with a tremendous resume. If anybody thinks Errol is going to take Lamont lightly, they’re mistaken and he would be too.
“Both of these main event fighters are lucky to have trainers who are real teachers. They are old school and two of the best. Derrick James and Barry Hunter know the game inside and out.
“Robert Easter is a beast, he’s got reach, power and boxing ability. He’s facing a guy in Javier Fortuna who is a confident former world champion. Javier has been talking a big game. He’s talking about knockouts. You want to see a guy come into a fight like this with that kind of confidence.
“This year in boxing is starting out just like last year started, at Barclays Center with a great, even matchup like Badou Jack vs. James DeGale last year.”
Stephen ESPINOZA, Executive Vice Thawj Tswj Hwm & General Manager, SHOWTIME kev ua si
“In terms of representing the sport, you don’t get any better than Errol Spence Jr. and Lamont Peterson. The professionalism of these guys is unmatched and they represent the best of the sport. I’m proud to have them on the network.
“You can’t play boxing. You have to be dedicated and passionate. Those values are going to be reflected in the ring nyob rau hnub Saturday.
“This is a special fight. These are the best in the sport. They’re both top 10 hais mav. Errol Spence Jr. has grown up on SHOWTIME.
He made his pro debut on ShoBox and won his first world title on SHOWTIME. This is Lamont’s eighth appearance on SHOWTIME and he has one of the strongest resumes in the sport.
“Robert Easter and Javier Fortuna is another matchup of top 10 hais mav. What we’re doing here is special. This isn’t just another network doing boxing, this is the cream of the crop.”
Brett YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Lom ze
“I’m really excited about Saturday hmo ntuj. We’ve been very fortunate to host the first big event of the year. There’s an appetite to get back into the game and we’re happy to be hosting it.

We’re pleased that Robert has finally decided to take his show to Barclays Center and give the fans a performance. Last time Javier won at Barclays Center he won his world title and we’re happy to have him back.
“We’re going to create something great here in Brooklyn and it continues nyob rau hnub Saturday night at Barclays Center.”

Exciting Slugger Eyubov Calls Out Fellow Prospect: ‘Bring me Yves Ulysse Jr. I Will Run Him Out of the Ring!’

Cia ib saib

Already one of the most entertaining up-and-comers in boxing and willing to face anyone put in front of him, Kazakhstan-born slugger Bakhtiyar “Bakha Bullet” Yeyubov, is calling out a fellow super lightweight prospect that most of his contemporaries try to avoid.

“Bring me Yves Ulysse Jr. tom ntej no,” hais tias Eyubov. I want to fight him.”
A true warrior, Eyubov says he’s willing to go where others fear to tread on his way to a world championship. “I know Ulysse is considered a difficult opponent and fighters are avoiding him, but I would run him out of the ring. I’ll stop him and get my respect in the division. I am too strong and too hungry. He can’t survive my tenacity!”
Montreal-based Ulysse (15-1, 9 Kos) was last seen in December dominating formerly undefeated Cletus Seldin over 10 one-sided rounds on HBO. The quick-fisted Canadian is currently rated #14 nyob rau hauv lub ntiaj teb no los ntawm cov IBF.
Yeyubov (13-0, 11 Kos) returned to the ring last weekend, but had his stalking of opponent Maurice Chalmers cut short when Chalmers suffered an accidental headbutt. The fight was ruled a No Decision at 1:59 ntawm cov thawj puag ncig.
“I will stop him if that fight ever happens,” continued Eyubov. “I hope he doesn’t get intimidated by my confidence. I hope he’s a real man that likes a challenge. We will see.”
Eyubov’s promoter says he’s willing to try and make this interesting showdown a reality.
“Qhov no yog kev sib ntaus zoo,” Hais lus. “Bakhtiyar says he wants to prove himself against a tough guy who can get him in the world ratings. We asked him who he wants, and he didn’t hesitate. He wants Yves Ulysse. Fights like this, between two hungry young lions are what boxing is all about. Both these guys are essentially undefeated. Ulysse’s loss was very controversial. It would be a sensational war.”
