Yvon Michel, promotor van de show en beide vechters: ”Het wordt een spannend gevecht en kaart. Eleider Alvarez zei dat hij klaar is om te sterven in de ring en hij meent het. Lucian is ook klaar om te doen wat nodig is om te winnen Vrijdag. We hebben twee vechters, twee echte concurrenten, die alles geeft en alles in de ring laat Vrijdag.”
Howard Grant, Bute's trainer: ”Lucian had het beste kamp van zijn carrière. Hij had meer energie in dit kamp dan in die van James DeGale en Badou Jack. Hij had ook goed sparren en hij zal klaar zijn Vrijdag nachts.”
Marc Ramsay, Alvarez-trainer: ”Dit is de derde keer in zijn carrière dat Alvarez wordt opgeroepen na een sparringsessie. Eerst was het Andrew Gardiner…en hij was verbluft door Eleider in de negende ronde van het gevecht. Daarna was hij nooit meer dezelfde, werd uitgeschakeld door een onbekende vechter, en met pensioen. Dan was het Nicholson Poulard. Hij werd uitgeschakeld in de derde ronde en ging daarna met pensioen. Lucian vroeg Eleider om een gevecht na het zien van een sparring tussen Alvarez en een vechter van de Grant Brothers Gym. Hij is van plan de goederen af te leveren Vrijdag. Ze vroegen om Alvarez, ze zullen Alvarez hebben.”

MONTREAL (November 26, 2016) – A settlement has been reached between Lucian Bute and the District of Columbia Athletic Commission, several months after an initial anti-doping test result was announcement regarding traces of Ostarin found in Bute’s urine samples this past May.
Following the World Boxing Council (WBC) super middleweight world title bout between defending champion Badou Jack and challenger Bute, which ended in a draw, a positive test result was announced to the general surprise of Bute.
Sindsdien, echter, in-depth analyses has demonstrated beyond all doubt that this result was due to contamination of nutritional supplements, prescribed by Bute’s conditioning trainer and created by a laboratory in California.
All this information has been favorably received by the authorities of the Athletic Commission of the District of Columbia.
As a result of communications between the parties involved, an agreement was reached:
Lucian Bute voluntarily agrees to contribute $50,000 (USD), within a period not exceeding 90 dagen, to the WBC Clean Boxing Program (CBP).
Lucian Bute also agrees that his boxer license from the Athletic Commission of the District of Columbia be suspended for a period of six months, dating back to May 6, 2016.
The athletic commission therefore agrees to reject the disputed case immediately with the compromise reached between the parties and does not in any way consider that this compromise constitutes an admission on the part of Lucian Bute of the alleged facts or circumstances.
Lucian Bute intends to pay his voluntary contribution to the WBC CBP without delay and as the six-month suspension period of his boxing license from the District of Columbia ended November 6, he may now box at the place and time of his choice right now. The case is now permanently closed.
“I am extremely happy that everything is now over,” former IBF world champion Bute said. “I would like to thank my family and my spouse, Helena, all members of my team, Christian Ganescu, the Grant brothers, Groupe Yvon Michel, mijn manager, Al HAYMON, my lawyer, Howard Jacob, and my friends, fans and supporters who were many to support me and to encourage and trust me during these dark and painful hours of my life. I would also like to thank the members of the Athletic Committee of the District of Columbia and its Chairman, Mr. Adam Weers, for listening and understanding, as well as WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman for giving me the benefit of the doubt and keeping me in the rankings of the best super middleweight challengers,”
In spite of this difficult period, Bute has continued training and he is more determined than ever to take the road back to regaining his world title. Bute is ready to face anyone who will stand between him and his goals.
“I am surrounded by the best team to guide me, ” Bute concluded. “ik heb, meer dan ooit, the enthusiasm and will to fight. I have a lot of years ahead of me and I cannot wait to get back into the ring in early 2017.”

MONTRÉAL (Augustus 12, 2016) – Former world champion Lucian Bute learned late yesterday afternoon that the test of his “B” sample was positive, as was his “Een” sample, which was no surprise and these findings were welcomed by Lucian and his team.
When the initial announcement of the positive result revealed Ostarine, Lucian didn’t understand what could have happened, hence his disbelief of the situation yet hope regarding test results of his sample “B”. At that time it was announced extensive research would be conducted to find out what really happened. Vandaag, meer dan ooit, Lucian says he never knowingly used illegal products during his illustrious career in professional boxing.
To assist in his search for truth, Lucian retained the services of a Los Angles-based lawyer, Howard Jacobs, who requested all nutritious supplement products used by Bute during in his training camp for the fight against Badou Jack.
KorvalLabs, an accredited laboratory in California specializing in sport, was mandated to carry out all of the analyzes, and results were obtained Maandag.
Echter, analysis of a product named Dynamita recovery, made by Pharmageniclaboratory in San Diego, Californië, contained traces of contamination, Ostarine.
The supplement formula prescribed by physical trainer Angel Heredia (see photos) had to be perfectly free of all illegal substances in its composition, meaning, jammer genoeg, it had been contaminated during preparation of this supplement at the Pharmageniclaboratory.
Responsibility for the detection of Ostarine in Bute’s tests was totally up to Pharmagenic laboratory in San Diego. Bute and his lawyer intend to pursue legal proceedings against the laboratory that has caused irreparable harm to the integrity and reputation of the former IBF super middleweight champion.
Details of the investigation were forwarded to the athletic commission in Washington DC, which will therefore be inviting Bute to enable representations and explanations of what happened before it takes a decision.
Ondertussen, Lucian Bute is in training at the gym of the Grant brothers regularly, does not put his career in question and is determined to take all means to become world champion in his division once the details of this case are fully set.
