Beterbiev Will Fight Browne In Montreal
By Daniel Cloutier
MONTRÉAL — The WBC light heavyweight champion of the world,
the Montrealer Russian Artur Beterbiev will have a first
fight in Montréal in five years. December 17th at Bell
Centre in Montréal, Beterbiev (16-0-0) will defend his world
title against the first WBC first contender, the New Yorker
Marcus Browne (24-1-0).
“It’s really important for me the dispute a fight in my
adoption city,” said Beterbiev. “Montréal is a great city. I
got a great training camp so far, and he will certainly be
ready for this challenge.”
Beterbiev’s trainer, the Montrealer Marc Ramsay, said:
“Browne is an excellent fighter, he is very fast, then,. my
fighter needs a great preparation for this challenge, and I
am positive that Beterbiev will deliver us another great
performance. He is always great in each fight.”
The only defeat on the Browne’s record, happened in 2019 in
Brooklyn, New York, when the Montrealer Jean Pascal (35-6-1)
beat him by decision.
Beterbiev’s trainer, the Montrealer Marc Ramsay, said:
“Browne is a very good opponent. He is fast and good
technically. But my fighter is ready for this challenge. I
am positive that Beterbiev will deliver us a great
performance December 17th at Bell Centre. He is preparing
himself very seriously.”
