Cloutier’s Canada Corner
Maduma Will Defend His WBC
Continental Americas Title On Sept. 6
By Daniel Cloutier
MONTRÉAL - The promoter Camille Estephan, who is also
manager of three of the most important Canadians boxers,
Bermane Stiverne, Dierry Jean and David Lemieux, confirmed
that the Montréaler Ghislain Maduma will defend his WBC
lightweight America's Continental title September 6th at the
Lac Leamy Casino, in Gatineau, Québec.
“We can not confirm an opponent at this point, but we are in
serious discussion with international fighters,” said
Estephan Sunday morning. “No doubt in my mind that Ghislain
will have a very solid opponent September 6th. He wants
absolutely to be ranked soon in the Top 10 in the world.”
Maduma (14-0-0), who will be involved in the main event to
the evening, is actually ranked 11th contender by the IBF,
and 15th challenger for the WBC championship of the world.
Estephan confirmed also that the Montrealers Schiller
Hyppolite (7-1-0), a super middleweight, Baha Laham
(12-0-1), a super featherweight, Michael Gadbois (9-0-1), a
lightweight, and Mian Hussain (6-0-0), a super welterweight,
will be involved in the preliminary bouts of the evening.
The light heavyweight Andy Gardiner (8-0-0), from Ottawa,
Ontario, should fight also on the undercard.
