WBC International Middleweight Title
Rule 4.6 Safety Weigh-Ins. Boxers shall have the final and official weigh-in no less than 24 hours but not more than 30 hours prior to the bout. Due to the possible adverse results of dehydration and subsequent rehydration of a boxer who is required to lose more than a safe amount of weight to make the required weight limit for the bout, the WBC expects extra official weigh-ins to be held 30 and 7 days prior to the official 30-24-hour weigh-in.
a) 30-day weigh-in: 4 weeks prior to the bout, the boxer’s weight must not exceed 10% of the weight limit for the bout, and
b) 7-day weigh-in: 7 days prior to the bout, the boxer’s weight must not exceed 5% of the weight limit for the bout. Read More

On December 10 in Montreal, Quebec, Canadian knockout artist David Lemieux (25-1-0) will defend his WBC International middleweight title against former WBA light middleweight champion Joachin “Ti-Joa” Alcine (32-2-1). Lemieux is eager to redeem himself after suffering his first defeat against Marco Antonio Rubio (49-5-1) last April. Lemieux agreed to chat with us about his training for the Alcine bout, his last fight with Rubio, and his future plans.
The Boxing Examiner: Good evening David. How is your training?
David Lemieux: My training is going very well. In fact, it’s the best I’ve ever had. I won’t rest until I secure my win against Alcine. I didn’t know changing certain things in my career would be so beneficial for me and I’m happy for it. After losing to Rubio, I needed to add some assets to my style.
TBE: Not so long ago, you parted ways with Russ Anber, a man who trained you since you were nine years old. Now Marc Ramsay took over your boxing career. What discipline is Ramsay bringing you at this stage of your career? Read More
