Et ce sera un combat spectaculaire pour les fans!”
Eleider Alvarez: ”Je dois gagner pour mon avenir et pour ma famille. Je vais tout donner Vendredi nuit. Mon heure est venue et j'en tirerai le meilleur parti.”
Yvon Michel, promoteur de spectacle et les deux combattants: ”Ça va être un combat et une carte passionnants. Eleider Alvarez a dit qu'il était prêt à mourir sur le ring et qu'il le pensait. Lucian est également prêt à faire tout ce qu'il faut pour gagner Vendredi. Nous avons deux combattants, deux vrais concurrents, qui donnera tout et laissera tout sur le ring Vendredi.”
Howard Grant, Entraîneur de Bute: ”Lucian a eu le meilleur camp de sa carrière. Il avait plus d'énergie dans ce camp que dans ceux de James DeGale et Badou Jack. Il a eu un bon combat aussi et il sera prêt Vendredi nuit.”
Marc Ramsay, Entraîneur Alvarez: ”C'est la troisième fois de sa carrière qu'Alvarez est appelé après une séance d'entraînement.. C'était d'abord Andrew Gardiner…et il a été stupéfait par Eleider au neuvième round du combat. Il n'a plus jamais été le même après ça, a été assommé par un combattant inconnu, et retraité. Que c'était Nicholson Poulard. Il a été mis KO au troisième tour et il a abandonné après cela. Lucian a demandé à Eleider de se battre après avoir vu un combat entre Alvarez et un combattant du Grant Brothers Gym. Il a l'intention de livrer la marchandise Vendredi. Ils ont demandé Alvarez, ils auront Alvarez.”

A TRUE CHRISTMAS GIFT
|
MONTRÉAL (Septembre 29, 2016) – Ottawa and Outaouais boxing fans in Canada will receive a special Christmas gift when Montreal’s adopted son and the most dangerous world title challenger, Artur Beterbiev (10-0, 10 KOs), faces Paraguay slugger and reigning WBC Latino light heavyweight champion Isidro Prieto Ranoni (26-1-3, 22 KOs) in a real power punching affair, Décembre 23 in Gatineau en tant que membre de GYM Boxing Series, presented by the Casino de Lac Leamy in collaboration with Videotron.
Beterbiev is world ranked by all over the major sanctioning bodies: Fédération internationale de boxe (IBF) #2, World Boxing Council (WBC) et de l'Association mondiale de boxe (WBA) #3, World Boxing Organization (WBO) #4, et The Ring magazine #6.
WBO #10 rated contender Prieto has won his last two fights by knockout, since losing by unanimous decision to Eleider Alvarez in a spectacular 12-round fight, in which he refused to give an inch to the WBC # 1 challenger on August 15, 2015 au Centre Bell à Montréal.
Expect fireworks as the KO ratio for Beterbiev and Prieto is an incredible 80-percent.
“Despite the claims of some promoters and light heavyweight challengers,” Groupe Yvon Michel (président de GYM Yvon Michel dit, “it’s a fact that Artur Beterbiev is the most dangerous and biggest threat to all of the world light heavyweight champions All contenders for titles change their minds when it comes to getting in the same ring with him,” said the president of GYM, Yvon Michel.
“Isidro Prieto is a fierce fighter who accepted the challenge, also believing he has the style to repel even the most courageous boxer. He is determined to make a name for himself December 23rd. We certainly admire his determination.”
Artur Beterbiev
Beterbiev is a bright GYM prospect. A true jewel, the Chechen fighter brutalized the international amateur scene.
The ferocious Beterbiev represented Russia in two Olympic Games in Beijing and London. He also won a gold and silver medals at the prestigious World Amateur Championships, as well as gold medals in numerous amateur tournaments including the Wold Cup and European Championships.
En 2010, the International Boxing Association (AIBA) named him its Boxer of the Year, as the best pound-for-pound amateur fighter in the world. He also defeated current WBO light-heavyweight world champion Sergey Kovalev dans les amateurs.
The gladiator from Daghestan left behind family and friends to fulfill his dream of becoming a professional world champion.
“He has all the qualities required to become world champion,” highly regarded strength-and-conditioning coach Andre Kulesza said of Beterbiev when he first signed a promotional contract with GYM. “He is healthy and always positive. He is highest level of athlete who I have ever had the chance to work with in Montreal. He has a superior genetically than anybody I ever work with and that’s really saying something! Artur is naturally strong, agile and flexible. He will go up very quickly and destroy his rivals. Expect lots of KOs,”
En tant que professionnel, Beterbiev has destroyed every opponent he’s faced. In only his sixth fight, he crushed former IBF champion Nuage de Tavoris in less than two rounds to capture the NABA strap.
Dans son Afficher L'Heure début, Beterbiev stopped previously undefeated Jeff Page Jr. second tour. Spaniard southpaw Gabriel Campillo was next in line, in an IBF eliminator bout for the IBF #2 world ranking, which was televised in the first Premier Boxing Champions show, live on CBS. Campillo, a former WBA champion, was dropped and then viciously knocked out in the fourth round.
Beterbiev knocked out American southpaw Alexander Johnson au septième tour, live on Spike TV, Juin 12, 2015 à Chicago.
After a one-year absence due to a shoulder injury, Beterbiev climbed back in the ring, his first main PBC main event broadcasted on ESPN this past Juin 4 at the Bell Centre against Argentine Olympian Ezequiel Maderna, who failed to get through the fourth round.
Highly ranked by all the sanctioning bodies despite having only 10 combats professionnels, Beterbiev has opened eyes all around the boxing world, and the scariest part is that it is only the beginning for him.
“I’m really happy with the turn of events,” Beterbiev remarked. During his time in Montreal Prieto has shown that he is a true warrior and that’s the kind of opponent I want to face. “
“With his WBO #10 classement, “Beterbiev’s trainer Marc Ramsay noté, “Prieto is by far the best fighter available to fight Artur. He is very aggressive and his style insures a fight filled with action. “
Isidro “Le Guerrier” Prieto
Prieto has dreamed of becoming the first Paraguayan world boxing champion.
After winning his first six pro fights and the Paraguay national title, he resettled in Argentina in 2009 to continue his development. In Buenos Aires, Prieto was taken under the wing of the first coach, Raul Paniagua, mentor and uncle of former world championSergio “Merveille” Martinez. “We have always encouraged each other, me and Sergio,” Prieto said in an interview with a South American website. “He started from the bottom and that is why we have so many things in common.”
Actuellement classé # 10 par la WBO, “Le Guerrier” has wiped out South American competition, knocking out most of his rivals, including Brazilian brawler Jackson Junior.
His lone defeat was to WBC Silver champion Alvarez, and since then Prieto has won two bouts, les deux par KO. Slick and freakishly strong with heavy hands, Prieto is a serious threat.
“I’ve worked in various places but the Casino du Lac Leamy is one of the places I love the most, ” ajoutée Éric Bélanger, trainer and organizer of events in the Gatineau and Ottawa region “It’s beautiful and prestigious; intimate but the atmosphere is amazing. Everyone connects and is part of the show. Gatineau also has a fan base that loves boxing. With Artur Beterbiev, it will be a major league boxing card, and I am sure that the region will be happy to be part of it.”
Ticket information will soon be announced
