Erik Bazinyan Puts His Titles On The
Line Against Ronald Ellis On Oct. 11
Erik Bazinyan and Ronald Ellis will face off on October 11th
as part of the boxing event presented by Eye of the Tiger at
the Casino de Montreal. The NABF and NABA super middleweight
titles, currently held by Bazinyan, will be at stake. This
bout will be broadcast live on Punching Grace and ESPN+,
serving as the co-main event for the IBF and IBO super
middleweight world championship fight between Mary Spencer
and Femke Hermans.
The boxing evening of October 11th was already promising to
be full of excitement with the rematch between Mary Spencer
and Femke Hermans. The Montreal promoter has now confirmed a
second fight that promises just as much action. Currently
ranked #2 by WBA, #3 by WBC, and IBF, Erik Bazinyan (30-0,
21 KOs) has had a successful journey since turning pro. His
adversity level rose after facing Alantez Fox, Marcelo
Esteban Coceres, and Jose de Jesus Macias, and he now wants
to show he's ready for high-profile fights.
"This fight is like a main event. We know Ellis's tenacity
and determination in the ring, and we see this match as a
good challenge for Erik. With his rankings and the progress
he's made, he's at that level now. We have high aspirations
for him, and Ellis is one more step to cross to reaffirm
himself in the super middleweight division and show the
federations that Bazinyan is a formidable opponent for the
168 lb elite," says EOTTM President Camille Estephan.
As demonstrated in his fight against Christian Mbilli and
the #1 WBC contender David Benavidez, Ronald Ellis (18-3-2,
12 KOs) has shown a strong ability to take punches. Having
faced several elite boxers in the division, he has gained
valuable experience. The American doesn't back down from
challenges and has everything to prove in this upcoming
clash, which promises to be a trench warfare.
Eye of the Tiger will soon reveal the opponents for their
proteges participating in the event, including Simon Kean
(23-1, 22 KOs), Wilkens Mathieu (3-0, 2 KOs), Leïla Beaudoin
(9-1, 1 KO), Mehmet Unal (4-0, 4 KOs), and Jhon Orobio (3-0,
3 KOs).
