The 36-year-old Bute (32-3-1, 25 КО) is challenging Colombia-native Alvarez (21-0, 10 КО) for his WBC Silver title belt in the 12-round main event headlining “BUTE VS. ALVAREZ”, promoted by Groupe Yvon Michel (Спартзалу) and Gestev, a presentation of Videotron and Mise-O-Jeu, at Videotron Centre in Quebec City, Канада.
Bute also hopes to become the first Romanian-born boxer to capture world titles in two different weight classes as the Bute-Alvarez winner in this final WBC eliminator will become the mandatory challenger for his GYM stablemate, reigning WBC and lineal light heavyweight champion Аданіс “Звышчалавек” Стывенсан (28-1-0, 23 КО).
Integrated Sports Media will distribute “BUTE VS. ALVAREZ” live in the United States, пачынаючы з 8 p.m. І / 5 p.m. PT, on cable, satellite and internet pay-per-view via iN Demand, Vubiquity, DIRECTV, DISH and the FITE app for a suggested retail price of only $29.95.

Bute was one of the world’s top pound-for-pound fighters for nearly five years (Кастрычнік. 19, 2007-Мая 26, 2012) as the International Boxing Federation (IBF) 168-фунт чэмпіён. The classy southpaw is 10-2-1 (8 КО) in world title fights and he has defeated six world champions: Dingaan Thobela, Сакі Цялец, Alejandro Berrio, Уільям Джоппи, Brian Magee і Глен Джонсан during his outstanding 13-year pro boxing career.
Now ranked No. 7 па версіі WBC, Bute is as hungry as he’s every been for one more world title shot opportunity. “I am fighting an undefeated Olympian who is the No. 1 ranked light heavyweight,” Б'юць сказаў. “A win will conform that I deserve a 14й world championship fight. Гэта азначае, што ўсё для мяне. I took this fight because it’s the shortest road for me to get a world title shot.
“I expect a technical fight. Alvarez is gifted and he has a good jab, but my experience and speed will make the difference. I will definitely win!”
