Lucian Bute: ”I am really, really confident going into this fight. I respect Alvarez; he is the WBC No. 1 ranked contender in the light heavyweight division. He is undefeated but my best moments as a professional boxer came here in Quebec City and I am sure it will be another one of those moments Venerdì notte. And it will be a spectacular fight for the fans!”
Eleider Alvarez: ”I have to win for my future and for my family. I will give everything Venerdì notte. My time has come and I will make the best of it.”
Yvon Michel, promoter of show and both fighters: ”It is going to be an exciting fight and card. Eleider Alvarez said that he is ready to die in the ring and he means it. Lucian also is ready to do whatever it takes to win Venerdì. We have two fighters, two true competitors, who will give everything and leave everything in the ring Venerdì.”
Howard di Grant, Bute’s trainer: ”Lucian had the best camp of his career. He had more energy in this camp than in the ones for James DeGale and Badou Jack. He had good sparring also and he will be ready Venerdì notte.”
Marc Ramsay, Alvarez trainer: ”This is the third time in his career that Alvarez has been called out after a sparring session. First it was Andrew Gardiner…and he was stunned by Eleider in the ninth round of the fight. He was never the same after that, got knocked out by an unknown fighter, and retired. Than it was Nicholson Poulard. He was KO’ed in the third round and he retired after that. Lucian asked Eleider for a fight after seeing a sparring between Alvarez and a fighter from the Grant Brothers Gym. He intends to deliver the goods Venerdì. They asked for Alvarez, they will have Alvarez.”

Alvarez was already Stevenson’s mandatory challenger, tuttavia, he agreed to put everything on the line in a risky confrontation with former IBF super middleweight champion Bute, as opposed to waiting until later this year for his title shot with Stevenson. In addition to being well compensated, Alvarez had several other reasons to accept this immense challenge against Bute.
“It is a very good opportunity for me, fighting a good opponent who is very popular, especially in Canada,” the odds favorite Alvarez said. “He’s is a southpaw, like Stevenson, plus it’s also a good opportunity for me to rise my popularity. And with all due respect to Bute, someone unable to beat Bute doesn’t deserve a shot at Stevenson.
“Our fight will probably be a boxing chess match, but because of the local angle, at some point our fight will turn emotional. I will retire Lucian Bute for good February 24th!”

PER IL RILASCIO IMMEDIATO

Lucian Bute

Questo evento è una presentazione di Vidéotron, in associazione con Bet-O-Play.

Eleider Alvarez
Alvarez metterà la sua posizione di sfidante obbligatoria WBC al campione Adone“Superuomo” Stevenson (28-1, 23 KO) in pericolo con una data di fine aprile per questa lotta per il titolo mondiale già prenotata.
Bute ha anche fissato il suo obiettivo di sfidare Stevenson. Il mancino veterano prevede di dimostrare chiaramente che si merita un altro colpo di titolo mondiale, assumendo il n. 1 conternder nell'imbattuto Alvarez. Qualunque sia il risultato finale, il vincitore sarà lo sfidante più popolare e legittimo per Stevenson, crescente interesse e notorietà per una resa dei conti del campionato del mondo totalmente quebecchese.
Tutti gli ingredienti vengono raccolti per aumentare l'interesse popolare in questa lotta, che si rivelerà uno dei più significativi nella storia del Quebec.
È un confronto locale tra due atleti che hanno scelto il Quebec come loro patria adottiva, integrarsi completamente nella cultura locale e imparare il francese, così come dove hanno combattuto la stragrande maggioranza dei loro periodi. Il risultato di questo grande scontro avrà anche enormi ripercussioni a livello internazionale nella divisione dei pesi massimi leggeri.
In un angolo c'è l'ex campione del mondo Bute, che ha consegnato molte performance ispiratrici durante il suo 13 combattimenti del campionato del mondo (10-2-1, 8 KO) diventare una grande star e una celebrità ammirata in Quebec.
L'altro angolo trova Alvarez imbattuto, un combattente di livello mondiale negli ultimi tre anni che ha offerto le sue esibizioni più brillanti all'estero, anche se per lo più all'ombra di altre grandi star del Quebec. L'ex olimpionico colombiano vuole stabilire il suo vero valore dopo essersi preparato per Stevenson combattendo gli avversari per più dell'anno scorso. Guadagnerà la sua borsa più alta, che è simile a quello che avrebbe ricevuto per combattere prima Stevenson.
“Sono i fan del Quebec nella loro interezza che saranno per primi deliziati da questa mega lotta e sono convinto che non ci saranno perdenti,” Presidente GYM Yvon Michel suddetto. “Anche se è difficile prevedere l'esito di questo confronto, molto probabilmente questa lotta sarà così interessante e vicina, alla fine i due potrebbero arrivare, uno dopo l'altro, una lotta per il campionato del mondo contro il potente campione mancino di Montreal, Adonis Stevenson.”
“Per noi era importante tenere questa battaglia al Centro Vidéotron,” aggiunto Spettacoli del vicepresidente & Contenuto creativo del Québecor, Michel granger. “L'ultima volta (la lotta Stevenson-Williams) è stato un successo e sarà lo stesso su Febbraio 24.”

“Gli ultimi sei mesi sono stati duri per me,” Bute ha spiegato. “Dopo che la situazione a Washington è stata risolta, Ero felice di sedermi finalmente e discutere del mio prossimo incontro. Ho accettato non appena mi è stato offerto il combattimento. Stiamo parlando di un ragazzo imbattuto numero classificato 1 dal WBC. È una vera sfida. Do il cappello ad Alvarez per aver messo in pericolo la sua posizione.
“Mi aspettavo il vincitore della lotta per il titolo dell'unificazione tra James Dégale e Badou Jack, ma non avevo garanzie e non potevo permettermi di aspettare. Il mio obiettivo è lottare ancora per un mondiale, se è a 168 o 175 libbre, e non volevo solo prendere una battaglia preparatoria senza senso.
“Dopo aver valutato tutte le opzioni, siamo giunti alla conclusione che dovevamo prendere questa battaglia,” Alvarez’ capo allenatore Marc Ramsey ha osservato. “Naturalmente, ci sono rischi … ma ne vale la pena. Eleider ha atteso da tempo l'opportunità di boxare contro qualcuno riconosciuto in Quebec, e le persone non hanno ancora visto il suo pieno potenziale. Era tutto un sorriso quando ha ricevuto l'offerta.”.
“Quando Marc mi ha chiamato nel suo ufficio,” Alvarez ha commentato, “Mi chiedevo cosa stesse succedendo. In genere, quando mi chiama nel suo ufficio, non è una buona notizia. Mi ha chiesto di sedermi e se volevo affrontare Bute. Ho sorriso e ho detto, di si. È il pugile più popolare del Quebec, quindi la mia motivazione sarà diversa. Lo sto facendo per me e la mia famiglia. Voglio essere campione del mondo e ora sta attraversando Lucian. Ho cercato a lungo un grande combattimento come questo e per la prima volta sarò l'headliner.”

SETTLEMENET REACHED BETWEEN LUCIAN BUTE & DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ATHLETIC COMMISSION

Lascia un commento
MONTREAL (Novembre 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.
Da allora, tuttavia, 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 giorni, 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, il mio 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, Sig. 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. “Io ho, more than ever, 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.”

Lascia un commento

 

MONTRÉAL (Agosto 12, 2016) – Former world champion Lucian Bute learned late yesterday afternoon that the test of his “B” sample was positive, as was his “La” 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. Oggi, more than ever, 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 Lunedi.
Tuttavia, analysis of a product named Dynamita recovery, made by Pharmageniclaboratory in San Diego, California, contained traces of contamination, Ostarine.
The supplement formula prescribed by physical trainer Angelo Heredia (see photos) had to be perfectly free of all illegal substances in its composition, meaning, per sfortuna, 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.
Nel frattempo, 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.

”This is a step in the right direction but what will really be important in the next few years is for this structure to always keep improving in order to properly regulate professional boxing,” allenatore Marc Ramsay suddetto.
”Fortunatamente, boxing is rarely the target of doping cases, but tightening the rules can only be beneficial to prevent tempted athletes to follow the wrong path,” added GYM vice-president, operations and recruitment, Bernard Barré.
”I am fully in favor of these new measures so all of us in the program will be playing on the same plain field,” remarked Stevenson, the WBC world light heavyweight champion.
“The WBC is proud to see the exemplary dedication of GYM for the welfare of the sport and we are grateful for their support to enroll Champion Adonis Stevenson and all of their WBC top 15-ranked fighters in the WBC – VADA Clean Boxing Program,” Presidente WBC Mauricio Sulaiman commentato. “The CBP is the first ever attempt in our sport to have a safety platform for our athletes and, ma ancora più importante, to share the much needed information on PED´s and illegal procedures which could harm our heroes of the ring.”
