“I’m very happy to have this opportunity,” said Clayton. “This is exactly the type of fight me and my team have been asking for. My preparation has been very good. This might seem like it’s last-minute, but I am more than ready for whatever Lipinets brings on October 24.”

Born in Kazakhstan and representing Russia, Lipinets now lives in Woodland Hills, Calif. and is trained by renowned coach Joe Goossen. Lipinets has put together three straight victories since losing his 140-pound title to four-division champion Mikey Garcia in March 2018.

This event is presented as part of the prestigious “Premier Boxing Champions” (PBC) seri, 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, bakal defend Boxing Dewan World kang (WBC) and lineal light heavyweight (175 divisi pound) title for the seventh time, against the dangerous, WBC No. 9 rated Thomas “Top Dog” Williams (20-1, 14 KOs).

I’m coming off the best performance of my career and I’m ready to make a change Juli 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,” Presiden GYM Yvon Michel ditambahake. “Adonis Stevenson became the WBC light heavyweight champion in June 2012 and since then 15 saka 16 other WBC titles have changed hands.
