Two Championship Fights To Launch Series Of Events For
The 10th Anniversary Of EOTTM On Jan. 22
Next January 22, Eye of the Tiger Management, in
collaboration with La Queen, Mise-o-jeu and Videotron,
presents the first event in a series of fights highlighting
the 10th anniversary of EOTTM at Cabaret du Casino de
Montreal. Arslanbek Makhmudov (13-0-0, 13 K.-O.) will defend
his NABF Heavyweight title against Polish Mariusz Wach
(36-7-0, 19 K.-O.) in the main event of the boxing card
broadcast live on Punching Grace. Yves Ulysse Jr. (20-2-0,
11 K.-O.) will face Antonio Moran (26-5-1, 19 K.-O.) for the
super-lightweight NABF belt.
“We are kicking off 2021 with a bang for our 10th
anniversary, with three boxing cards in three months.
Several of our boxers are knocking at the door of major
fights and we expect to use this series to shake up world
rankings with worthy adversaries for our athletes who will
no doubt provide solid entertainment for our fans in the
intimacy of the Casino de Montreal,” states Development
Director and head trainer at EOTTM, Marc Ramsay.
In fact, Arslanbek Makhmudov will confront Mariusz “The
Giant” Wach in a ten-round bout for the NABF Heavyweight
title. “This upcoming fight will be a real test: Wach has
confronted very good boxers and has lost by decision. If I
manage to beat him, I will gain access to the big names of
my division,” says Makhmudov. The 270 lb Pole has confronted
quality boxers such as Vladimir Klitschko, Alexander
Povetkin, Jarrell Miller, Dillian Whyte and Hughie Fury. “I
am excited to fight Makhmudov. I love a challenge and this
fight against the Russian sure is one. I will be 100% ready
and I’ll be in the best shape of my career. I know that
Makhmudov is a worthy opponent and the King of KO, but so
far in his career he hasn’t encountered a boxer with as much
experience as I have. The Russian never fought beyond three
rounds in a fight; he won’t be able to go the distance in a
longer fight”, explained Wach.
Yves Ulysse Jr. will also be facing a worthy opponent when
he returns to the ring as he will be facing the accomplished
Mexican Antonio Moran. Moran has fought major championship
adversaries such as Devin Haney, Yomar Alamo and Arnold
Barboza, Jr. Moran has claimed the WBA Fedecentro title
following his victory against Luis Solis, which he defended
successfully once again against Emanuel Colon.
Another headliner from the Montreal stable will be featured;
Simon Kean (20-1, 19 KOs) will try to extend his string of
victories, and his team will offer him a worthy opponent,
soon to be announced. Luis Santana (4-0-0, 2 KOs) will
confront Brandon Garcia Orozco (4-1-0, 3 KOs) with a
performance as convincing as the one he wielded in his last
fight. Avery Martin Duval (5-0-1, 3 KOs) will face the
powerful Francisco Javier Lucero (10-3-4, 7 KOs). We will
also be witnessing the return of Leila Beaudoin (3-0-0, 1
KO) who returns to the ring after one year, and that of her
colleague as well, the undefeated Thomas Chabot (5-0-0, 5
KOs).
