Cloutier’s Canada Corner
Clayton Signs
With The Eye Of The Tiger Management
By Daniel Cloutier
MONTRÉAL - The welterweight Custio Clayton, one of the best
prospects of the Canadian pro boxing, confirmed his decision
to join The Eye Of The Tiger Management Group. A fighter
from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Clayton (12-0-0) signed a
contract with the GYM Group in 2014, when he decided to
become a pro boxer and moved in Montréal.
He has been recruited by Bernard Barré, the scout of the GYM
Group. But this contract expired few days ago, and Clayton
decided at that moment to change of team.
Ranked 15th contender by the WBO in the 147 pounds division,
Clayton is IBF international champion and WBC
InterContinental champion.
Clayton is the second fighter to leave the GYM Group since
two months. The other one is the Montrealer Russian Artur
Beterbiev (11-0-0), who will face the German Enrico Koelling
(23-1-0) November 11th is Fresno, California, in an IBF
light heavyweight championship of the world.
“Camille Estephan and Antonin Décarie, the promoter and the
president of The Eye Of The Tiger Management Group, believe
I have a great potential, and they are determined to help me
to progress on the international boxing scene,” said
Clayton. “I really believe we will make a great team
together.”
