KO Boxing Promotions is staging a wonderful evening of boxing for Edmonton fight fans this Friday, October 7, at the Shaw Conference Center. The main event will feature Tye “Big Sky” Fields (48-4-0) of Edmonton taking on Raphael Butler (35-10-0) of Rochester, Minnesota. Fields became the mandatory challenger to Neven Pajkic’s Canadian Boxing Federation heavyweight championship by defeating Raymond Olubowale (8-4-1) back in February. Fields has kept busy since defeating Olubowale, boxing five times against a relatively high level of competition. Fields lost two of these last five, suffering a KO3 defeat at the hands of Michael Grant (46-4-0) and a TKO1 loss to Mike Perez (13-0-0). That being said, the honorary Canadian earned victories over David Whittom (11-15-1), Michael Sprott (36-15-0) and Konstantin Airich (17-4-2), solidifying his spot as the number one contender for Pajkic’s title. Butler already has experience with Pajkic, dropping a ten round unanimous decision to the Canadian champion in 2010. Since his loss to Pajkic, Butler has fought once, losing by TKO1 to David Price of Liverpool, England. Read More
