Clavel.jpg

LAVAL, Quebec, Canada (Maart 16, 2023) — Montreal’s Kim Clavel (16-0-1, 3KO) will step back into the ring to take on NaomiLa ChapitaArellano Reyes (9-2-0, 5KO), Los Angeles, voor de vacante World Boxing Council (WBC) International Flyweight Championship on April 28, op Place Bell in Laval. The vacant WBC international flyweight title will be on the line as confirmed by the WBC. We have also requested sanctions for the division’s IBF Inter-Continental and WBO Inter-Continental titles as well. Verbal confirmation has been obtained and we expect to receive the required sanctions confirmation within the next few hours.

This will be the first fight for Clavel, 32, since the incredible clash this past of January 13 against World Boxing Association (WBA) world champion Yesica Nery Plata (29-2-0, 3KO), which the popular Canadian lost by decision in her first WBC title defense.

April 28th will mark the start of Clavel’s “RECONQUEST”, who intends to prove herself again by positioning her for a rematch with Plata as quickly as possible. She is presently ranked as the WBC #1, WBO #3 en IBF #4 mededinger.

Clavel is more motivated than ever, gezegde: “I want to regain my world title, but I will take it one fight at a time. We will reposition ourselves in the rankings. I’m going to need all of Quebec behind me. I’m confident with my team, my perseverance and all of you that, by the end of the year, we’ll get more than just a world champion belt! Thank you for your eternal support.”

Originally from Nayarit, Mexico, Reyes now lives and trains in Los Angeles, Californië. The 28-year-old Reyes is renowned for her power as evidenced by her 5 knockout victories to date. Her most notable win was versus former multiple time world champion Carina Moreno (25-7-0, 6KO) in 2020. In her last outing last October,  Reyes lost by decision against Gabriela Fundura (8-0-0, 4KO) for the WBC Latino flyweight title in a PBC event broadcast on Showtime.

Clavel and Reyes were supposed to face each other in August 2021 at the IGA Stadium, but the latter had to withdraw due to health restrictions to enter Canada, and she was replaced by Maria Vargas (14-4-1, 1KO).

“It is with great enthusiasm and confidence that we are relaunching Kim with the ultimate goal of allowing her to avenge her defeat and regain her world title,” said GYM President Yvon Michel. “We remember the great intense and passionate fight between the two champions last January. Behalve, the latter is still in the running for the 2023 Fight of the Year! De 4,000 spectators at Place Bell are still excited. To return to the world championship, Kim must prove herself again and these international titles will allow her to become a must challenger for the champion.”

Tickets will go on sale this evening (Donderdag, Maart 16) bij 9:00 p.m. EN hetwww.evenko.ca and directly at GYM atinfo@groupeyvonmichel.ca.

Under this agreement, GYM obtained the rights to promote Rivasfirst 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 KO) at the Olympia in Montreal.

Colombia-native Rivas, who represented his country at the 2008 Olympische Spelen, became the first WBC World Champion in the history of the Bridgerweight Division.

MENG FANLONG VERDIENT TITELSCHOT VS. BETERBIEV – LIJKT OP EEN MOEILIJKE TIJD GELUK NAAR HUISELAND

17 februari, NYC — Meng Fanlong uit China (16-0, 10 KO) zal IBF bestrijden & WBC licht zwaargewicht kampioen, Artur Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KO), 28 maart in het Videotron Center in Quebec City, Canada. Beterbiev vs.. Meng wordt gepresenteerd door Top Rank in samenwerking met Groupe Yvon Michel en Gestev, en zal live worden uitgezonden op ESPN, samen met een co-feature-gevecht op 10 PM ET.

Fanlong, die komt uit Chifeng, Binnen-Mongolië, China, heeft meer dan alleen zijn wereldtitel in zijn hoofd geschoten. Zijn thuisland is in wezen gesloten vanwege de recente uitbraak van het Coronavirus.

"Het grootste deel van mijn land is al weken gesloten." Zegt Meng. “Mijn medeburgers hebben iets nodig om hen te helpen ontsnappen uit deze zeer moeilijke tijd. Ik hoop wat positiviteit te brengen, geluk, en vreugde voor hen met deze strijd. Ik wil trots op hun hart leggen. "




Op 28 maart, Meng zal de ring betreden met een van de gevaarlijkste boksers. Kampioen Artur Beterbiev heeft al zijn professionele gevechten gewonnen door knock-out – inclusief zijn spannende wedstrijd tegen Oleksandr Gvozdyck in oktober. Meng was die avond aanwezig in Philadelphia en observeerde met grote belangstelling.

Maar de confrontatie met een van de gevaarlijkste boksers in de ring verbleekt in vergelijking met de zorgen en problemen waarmee honderden miljoenen Chinezen over de hele wereld te maken hebben..

“Fanlong is de beste Chinese jager ter wereld – dat zal iedereen op 28 maart leren. " Zegt Meng-adviseur Tommy Lane. “Dit is een historisch gevecht omdat hij de eerste Chinese bokser is die vecht voor het licht zwaargewicht kampioenschap. En met wat er aan de hand is met het coronavirus, dit is een strijd die de mensen vreugde en positieve energie kan brengen in deze uitdagende tijd. "

Het is niet bekend wanneer het coronavirus onder controle zal zijn of wanneer de burgers van de Volksrepubliek China weer normaal kunnen leven.

'Mijn land heeft me nodig. We komen hier wel doorheen. "

Tickets voor Beterbiev vs. Meng kan worden gekocht bij www.ticketmaster.ca of de Videotron Center box office Meng. Meer details over het evenement worden op een later tijdstip bekendgemaakt. Voor interviewverzoeken en mediamogelijkheden, neem dan contact op met Terry Lane – tmlane@gmail.com.

MUST SEE FIGHT-THEMED TV: LETTERKENNY (Made in Canada)

(Left to right: Wayne, “Darry,” Katie, en “SquirrelyDan enjoying some chit chat on the back deck in a very funny show calledLetterkenny”)

Door: Rich Bergeron

If you ever want to laugh harder than you’ve ever laughed in your life, Letterkenny is the new, hip show for you. Elevation Pictures and Universal Studios have joined forces to bring you this quick-witted comedic gem that follows the residents of a small town North of the Canadian border called Letterkenny. The residents of Letterkenny belong to one of three groups: the Hicks, the Skids, and the Hockey Players, who are constantly feuding with each other over seemingly trivial matters that often end with someone getting their ass kicked.

Wayne, the toughest guy in Letterkenny, is our unsung hero. He waits a few episodes to display his fiercest skills in season 1 since he’s recovering from a breakup with his girlfriend (fodder for a future episode). When he does go toe to toe, the opponents he faces are coming for his unofficial title, and word travels fast. Between these raucous and exciting slugfests are the escapades of the rest of the crew and Wayne as they deal with small town obstacles like dirty politics at the agricultural hall and the kind ofkissinand tellin'you think you want to hear until you really don’t.

Darryl, Squirrely Dan, Katie and Stuart are the main characters in support of Wayne. Katie is a typical teenage girl getting frisky with the boys, making her brother Wayne always feel the need to tell her to put more clothes on. Squirrely Dan has a distinctwaysof speaking topeoplesin the show that makes for some funny moments every epsidoe. Darryl goes byDarryand is the most inquisitive of whole bunch, always asking the right questions and having to get things explained that the audience would like to hear explained, ook. One of the highlights of the first season isthe softest birthday party everthat the gang attempts to put on for Darry. Stuart is the local meth addict who can’t seem tofigure it outas far as how to straighten up and fly right.

The shenanigans and fast and furious banter of the show make it worth watching some scenes over and over again. It is a unique, “full tilt like a Peterbiltcomedy that pushes the envelope and hits the nail on the head when it comes to some stereotypical boondocks teenager behavior. The only critique it gets from me is it takes a bit of time to pick up on what all the colloquialisms really mean if you’re not from Canada. Watch enough episodes, hoewel, and you’ll be speaking like a Letterkenny native and bringing their lingo to the USA. Goed, as Wayne and the crew often say, “Pitter patter, let’s get at ‘er.Here’s some more info from the peoples in charge on how to watch and purchase DVDs and such:

The series was picked up in the United States by Hulu for its 7th season as a Hulu Original series, with the other seasons also being available exclusively on the streaming platform. It’s a goofy Canadian hangout comedy that combines the eccentricities ofSchitt’s Creekwith wry and wacky wordplay.

DICAIRE WILL FACE NAMUS! IBF WORLD LIGHT MIDDLEWEIGHT FEMALE CHAMPIONSHIP SET FOR DECEMBER 1 IN QUEBEC CITY

MANDATORY
December 1st at the Vidéotron Centre in Quebec City

 

QUEBEC CITY, Canada (November 2, 2018) –– de charismatische Marie-Eve Dicaire (13-0-0, 0 KO) will have the chance to make her dream come true on December 1 at the Videotron Center in Quebec, when she fights for the International Boxing Federation (IBF) World light middleweight title against champion Chris Namus (24-4-0, 8 KO), of Uruguay. Marie-Eve will fight in the first women’s world title bout in Quebec’s history.

 

 

 

The 31-year-old Namus, fighting out of South America, signed the contract this past Tuesday to defend her crown against Dicaire in the co-featured event on the card headlined by the World Boxing Council (WBC) and lineal light heavyweight world championship bout between Adonis Stevenson en uitdager Oleksandr gvozdyk, adding some spice to an already red-hot card.

 

 

 

Namus, nicknamed El Bombon Asesino, has been IBF champion since 2017, when she defeated Argentina’s Yamila Esther Reynoso voor de vacante titel. She has since defended her belt once, against her compatriot, Katia Alvarino.

 

 

“Eerst en vooral,” Dicaire zei, “I must say that I feel privileged to have the opportunity to box for the world championship for the first time here in Quebec. This fight represents years of effort, offer, perseverance and to live that moment before those who supported me during this tumultuous journey is indescribable for me.

 

 

 

My preparation for this fight is already well underway and I must admit that the signature of Namus has just added an additional motivation for the last steps of my camp. Zo, kijk uit! I cannot wait to be in the ring and touch this belt!”

 

 

 

Marie-Eve is in a good position to be a star in the history of Canadian boxing. She will not have a second chance to leave a good first impression,” added GYM’s vice president of operations and recruitment, Bernard Barré.

 

 

 

Tickets, vanaf $ 50.50, taksen en dienst inbegrepen, are on sale at Gestev.com and Ticketmaster.ca, at the Champions Boxing Club (514-376-0980), bij GYM (514-383-0666) of 1-855-790-1245.

 

De “Mandatoryevent will be televised in the United States and Canada on pay-per-view via Indigo, Bell TV en Shaw TV.

 

MARIE-EVE DICAIRE

 

 

 

Marie-Eve Dicaire has been in the fighting sports since a very young age. Op slechts 6 jaar oud, karate captivated her. She obtained a zwarte band and won a Canadian Championship before even being 11 jaar oud.

 

 

 

Bij 18 jaar oud, Marie-Eve became karate world champion for a first time. She would win that title four other times.

 

 

 

She also gained a spot on the NASKA American circuit with the Amerikick team.

 

 

 

Een 5th degree black belt and owner of a dojo (Karaté Sunfuki), Dicaire made a switch to kickboxing and had two fights (a win and a draw) before starting boxing.

 

 

 

On the amateur boxing scene, she fought more than 50 times in less than four years.

Her best year was 2013, when she won the Quebec Championship, Canadian Championship en de Ringside World Championship, plus a win over the American champion in a Canada versus United States meeting.

 

 

 

Boxe Québec also named her 2013 Atleet van het Jaar.

 

 

 

The fighter from Saint-Eustache, Quebec, made her pro debut November 20, 2015, in Sorel-Tracy. She defeated Christina Barry, from Manitoba, met eenparigheid van stemmen.

 

 

 

Januari 21 op het Montreal Casino, Dicaire beat Christina Barry for a second time to keep her undefeated record.

 

 

 

In her third outing, she bested Mexican veteran Martha Patricia Lara, Maart 17th op het Montreal Casino.

 

 

 

Mei 24 op het Montreal Casino, Dicaire faced a rival ranked 16th in the world by the WBC, Amerikaans Ashleigh Curry. With an energetic body attack, she won a unanimous decision.

 

 

 

On October 20th, it was Mexican warrior Karla Zamora‘s turn to taste Dicaire’s medicine, and then on December 10, former NABF champion Paty Ramirez, van Mexico, was also defeated.
