EOTTM Returns To Outaouais On Sept. 8
Following the resounding success of the EOTTM gala on
October 27 last year, which marked the return of
professional boxing to Outaouais after a few years of
absence, the Montreal promoter is back with a second event
on September 8 at the Théâtre du Casino Lac-Leamy. The card
will feature the new NABF super-lightweight champion, Steve
Claggett, as well as local talents Alexandre Gaumont,
Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse, and Harley-David O'Reilly. The
evening will be broadcast live on Punching Grace and ESPN+.
Albertan Steve Claggett (35-7-2, 25 KOs) has consistently
captivated boxing fans with his explosive and electrifying
performances, as demonstrated in October last year when he
stopped Jonathan Jose Eniz in the 4th round. Since then,
known as "The Dragon," he claimed the NABF title at 140 lbs
with an impressive victory over former WBO world champion
Alberto Machado, who had to withdraw from the fight in the
3rd round. Claggett continues his ascent to the top of the
division and hopes that his bout on September 8 will earn
him a place in the world's top 10. Visit

"You saw the dragon roar on June 1, but I haven't shown all
my fire yet! I'm excited to climb the rankings and make an
even bigger impact on the world stage! This title puts me in
contention for something greater, and I won't stop until I
reach where I want to be: world champion! With my team in my
corner and Eye of the Tiger behind me, I know we'll get
there," said Steve Claggett.
Buckingham's pride, Alexandre Gaumont (8-0, 6 KOs),
continues to rack up expedient victories and intends to
dazzle his fans once again on September 8 as he competes in
his first 8-round bout of his career. Fighting in front of
his hometown in Gatineau is a matter of the heart and an
honor for the Gaumont family, as expressed by Marcellin,
Alexandre's father and coach: Make sure

"The region had its boxing hero in Gaétan Hart, whom I met
47 years ago. He is a true inspiration to us. Now, it's
Alexandre who follows in his footsteps to revive boxing in
Gatineau. His will to win and all the efforts he has put
into training in recent months will be reflected once again
on September 8, and we are thrilled to know that Mr. Hart
will be ringside once again to witness the next generation's
performance."
It will be a particularly special night for Vanessa
Lepage-Joanisse (5-1, 2 KOs), who will be fighting in front
of her hometown for the first time since turning
professional. Currently ranked 4th in the world in her
weight class according to BoxRec and 7th in the IBO
heavyweight division, she has experienced rapid progress
since her return to the ring in March. She aims to secure
her third consecutive victory and is actively working to
sharpen her skills to deliver an unforgettable performance:
"September 8 is an important date for me. Before my return,
I wanted to step back into the ring, and now my wish is to
fight in front of my people. It will be a memorable night!
Finally, the people of Outaouais, including those from my
adopted city of Mont-Laurier, will be able to witness my
fight. I'm currently training to gain mass while maintaining
my weight, and I can't wait to show you a stronger and more
explosive Vany in the ring! See you in September!"
Harley-David O'Reilly (1-0, 1 KO) made a lasting impression
on boxing fans during his professional debut on October 27
last year, delivering one of the most spectacular and
memorable knockouts of the year on the Canadian scene
against Beauceron Hubert Poulin. He will be returning on
September 8 alongside EOTTM's proteges, Luis Santana (9-0, 3
KOs), Avery Martin Duval (10-0-1, 6 KOs), Thomas Chabot
(9-0, 7 KOs), Christopher Guerrero (7-0, 3 KOs), and Jhon
Orobio (3-0, 3 KOs), who will also be participating in the
event. The opponents for the card will be announced at a
later date.
