Cloutier’s Canada Corner
Adonis Stevenson
Has Permission To Face Badou Jack?
By Daniel Cloutier
MONTRÉAL - According ESPN, the WBC championship committee
gave the permission to the Montrealer southpaw Adonis
Stevenson (29-1-0) postponement of the defence of his WBC
light heavyweight championship of the world against the
Montrealer Eleider Alvarez, if he wants absolutely to
dispute a unification of the WBC and WBA championships of
the world against the Swedish African Badou Jack (22-1-2).
A fight Stevenson-Jack could be presented in Québec City in
March.
Alvarez (23-0-0), who is the WBC mandatory challenger since
a year and a half, should be involved on the same show then
Stevenson and Jack. He would fight the Ukrainian Oleksander
Gvozdyk (14-0-0) for the interim WBC light heavyweight world
championship.
If this situation happens, the winner of a fight
Stevenson-Jack would be obliged to face the winner of a bout
Alvarez-Gvozdyk.
