Αστεροειδής αδώνης ”Υπεράνθρωπος” Stevenson – WBC and lineal light heavyweight world champion:
”Welcome to Québec City Thomas. I saw your fight against Edwin Rodriguez. It was a nice performance with a beautiful KO. When I saw that bout, I told myself I wanted that fight with you. I knew I was going to be motivated.”
”I know Williams hits hard and that he has a name now in the United States, but I keep the same Kronk Gym mentality Emmanuel Steward taught me: we go for the KO. It is also my daughter’s birthday and I want to get her a KO, I am motivated. That will be exciting…don’t blink!”
Θωμάς ”Top Dog” Williams – WBC #8 light heavyweight ranked challenger:
”You don’t know what I have been through to be here. Tweets, talks and predictions won’t mean nothing Παρασκευή νύχτα…..facts will. There will be a new champion.”
Eleider ”Καταιγίδα” Alvarez – WBC #1 ranked challenger and WBC Silver light heavyweight champion:
”With only a 10-day notice, I am really happy to face a fighter of good caliber. Berridge is a tough guy who faced good names like Thomas Oosthuizen and Blake Caparello, but I prepared really hard for Chad Dawson. I am ready.”
Robert ”The Butcher” Berridge – New Zealand light heavyweight champion :
”I am excited to be here and to face a solid boxer. Expect a good performance from me Παρασκευή.”
Yvon Michel – Πρόεδρος του γυμναστηρίου:
”The event is called ‘SHOOTOUT’ because of the aggressive style of Thomas Williams Jr, who fights like there is no αύριο, combined with the explosive power of Adonis Stevenson.”
”Williams is a clear and present danger but we are convinced that Adonis is well prepared and will succeed, so that we will all be happy Σάββατο morning while eating breakfast. We still have not seen his full potential yet.’
”The fight between Eleider Alvarez and Robert Berridge is really important for the rankings in the light heavyweight division. Alvarez is highly considered by all the independent rankings (Το δαχτυλίδι, BoxRec) and Berridge was already in training before the withdrawal of Chad Dawson, because he was supposed to fight on HBO PPV last weekend before the bout was cancelled for administrative reasons. He is fearless and a hard hitter.”

Born and raised in Tipperary, Ιρλανδία, Sheenan made his pro debutΙανουάριος 19 στο Λος Άντζελες, ΟΠΩΣ, outpointing previously unbeaten Jonathan Rice over four rounds. Since the victory, the 6’5 215 pound 27-year-old has been working hard in the gym and was recently in camp with heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

ΜΟΝΤΡΕΑΛ, Καναδάς (Ιούνιος 14, 2016) – Groupe Yvon Michel (ΓΥΜΝΑΣΤΗΡΙΟ) and Gestev are proud to officially announce, “SHOOTOUT”, the next fight for power-punching Αστεροειδής αδώνης “Υπεράνθρωπος” Stevenson, Ιούλιος 29 at Centre Videotron, a presentation of Videotron in association with Mise-O-Jeu. This event is presented as part of the prestigious “Premier Πυγμαχία Τσάμπιονς” (PBC) σειρά, 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, θα υπερασπιστεί του World Boxing Συμβουλίου (WBC) and lineal light heavyweight (175 λιβρών) title for the seventh time, against the dangerous, WBC No. 9 βαθμολογια Θωμάς “Top Dog” 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 είπε. I will demonstrate that, like fine wine, I am even better with age. Even though I haven’t boxed for 10 μήνες, I’ve never left the gym and I’m willing to defend my crown.”
Williams, of Fort Washington, Μέριλαντ, στο 28, είναι 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) και 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 Γαβριήλ 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 Ιούλιος 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,” Πρόεδρος ΓΥΜΝΑΣΤΗΡΙΟ Yvon Michel προστεθεί. “Adonis Stevenson became the WBC light heavyweight champion in June 2012 and since then 15 του 16 other WBC titles have changed hands. Μόνο Shinsuke Yamanaka, of Japan, is still champion. Other fights on the Ιούλιος 29ου card will include a group of ambitious, talented boxers, promising a show with intense fighters making statements.”
Στο ομο-χαρακτηριστικό γνώρισμα, current WBC Silver light heavyweight champion and WBC No. 1 αντίπαλος, 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.
