Presented In Québec City On July 16
By Daniel Cloutier
MONTRÉAL — The promoter of the GYM Group in Montréal, Yvon
Michel, will confirmed Monday that the WBC light heavyweight
championship of the world opposing the Montrealer southpaw
Adonis Stevenson and the American Thomas Williams Jr. will
be presented July 16th at the Videotron Centre in Québec
City. This 12 rounds bout will be televised by Showtime.
For Stevenson (27-1-0), it will be the seventh defence of
this title he won in 2013 at Bell Centre in Montréal, in
beating the American Chad Dawson by KO in the first round.
Williams (20-1-0), a fighter from Fort Washington, Maryland,
won a WBC elimination bout April 30th in Carson, California,
with a win by TKO in the second round against the Dominican
Edwin Rodriguez (28-2-0). A few hours after this win over
Rodriguez, the WBC championship committee confirmed that
Williams would be the next Stevenson’s opponent.
