Internationally-flavored Full Card Announced for "BUTE VS. ALVAREZ MONTREAL (February 20, 2017) - A full card with an international flavor, from top to bottom, has been announced for this Friday (Feb. 24) night's "BUTE VS ALVAREZ" major event at Videotron Centre in Quebec City, Canada.

 

World Boxing Council (WBC) light heavyweight champion Eleider "Storm" Alvarez (21-0, 10 KOs), defends his title against former world super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (32-3-1, 25 KOs) in the 12-round main event that also serves as the final WBC eliminator to determine the mandatory challenger for WBC and lineal light heavyweight champion Adonis "Superman" Stevenson (28-1-0, 23 KOs).  Alvarez, who lives in Montreal, was a Colombian Olympian and Laval, Canada resident Bute is a native of Romania. Stevenson, Alvarez and Bute are all promoted by GYM.

 

''This is an excellent overall boxing event and the result will have a significant impact on the career of all participants," said the President of GYM, Yvon Michel.

"The Martel-Braidwood WBU heavyweight title fight has all the ingredients to be a barnburner, while the NABO middleweight fight may prove that Lafreniere deserve to be named, 'The people champ' because of his relentless attack style.  Bute and Alvarez in the main event are putting their future on the line with this the most significant light heavyweight fight so far in 2017. The real winners are going to be the boxing fans, who appreciate the evenly matched fights and fighters ready to leave it all in the ring!''
