This announcement comes less than week after Bunda and McLellan’s possible ‘Fight of the Year’, ten round draw last weekend. The show has been aptly titled “Unfinished Business.”

In light of the recent attack on boxing issued jointly by the Canadian Society of Pediatricians and the American Academy of Pediatrics, I thought it would be interesting to see how professional boxers think and feel about their trade. “What Boxing Means to Me” will be a weekly staple here at Canadian Boxiana, with a different boxer interviewed each week. In this edition I caught up with two time Olympian and current North American Boxing Association light middleweight champion Adam ‘A-Bomb’ Trupish of Windsor, Ontario, via Edmonton, Alberta.

TORONTO (September 15, 2011) – With all due respect to the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens, the long, rich arch-rivalry in sports between Ontario and Quebec is, perhaps, more prevalent today in boxing than even hockey.
The aforementioned rivalry heats up October 22 at The Hersey Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, when unbeaten World Boxing Association (“WBA”) No. 11-rated Logan Cotton McGuinness, of Ontario, takes on and former world title challenger Benoit Gaudet, of Quebec, in the 10-round main event on a card presented by Hennessy Sports in association with Interbox and United Promotions.
The adversarial provincial competition continues November 5 at Pepsi Coliseum in Quebec as two-time world champion Steve “The Canadian Kid” Molitor (33-2, 12 KOs), of Ontario, faces Sebastian Gauthier (21-2, 13 KOs), of Quebec, in the co-feature on the Lucian Bute-Glen Johnson card, presented by Interbox.
“The cross-provincial rivalry between Ontario and Quebec is intense in all sports,” promoter Adam Harris (Hennessy Sports) said. “Canada’s rich boxing history is keeping this rivalry going strong today. From Ontario’s Lennox Lewis, George Chuvalo and Tommy Burns, to Quebec’s Arturo Gatti, Lucan Bute and Jean Pascal, both provinces have had so many great boxers over the years, right up to now. We’re proud to be continuing this heated boxing rivalry with McGuiness fighting Gaudet.” Read More
