Lucian Бют (L) is fighting for a chance at his 14^тата световна титла бой

МОНРЕАЛ (Февруари 16, 2017) – Former world super middleweight champion Lucian Бют plans to parlay his February 24^тата Canadian showdown with undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) Сребърен шампион в полутежка категория Eleider “Буря” Alvarez into his 14^тата world title fight later this year.

The 36-year-old Bute (32-3-1, 25 Нокаута) is challenging Colombia-native Alvarez (21-0, 10 Нокаута) for his WBC Silver title belt in the 12-round main event headlining “BUTE VS. ALVAREZ”, promoted by Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) и Гестев, 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 Адонис “Свръхчовек” Stevenson (28-1-0, 23 Нокаута).

Bute was one of the world’s top pound-for-pound fighters for nearly five years (Октомври. 19, 2007-Май 26, 2012) as the International Boxing Federation (IBF) 168-паунд дивизия шампион. The classy southpaw is 10-2-1 (8 Нокаута) in world title fights and he has defeated six world champions: Dingaan Thobela, Саки Телец, Alejandro Berrio, Уилям Joppy, Brian Magee и Глен Джонсън during his outstanding 13-year pro boxing career.

Now ranked No. 7 от 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 класиран в полутежка категория,” Бют каза. “A win will conform that I deserve a 14^тата world championship fight. Това означава всичко за мен. 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!”
