Montreal, Thursday June 17 2010 – Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) and Gary Shaw Productions are particularly proud to officially announce that WBC light heavyweight world champion Jean Pascal (25-1-0, 16KO) will make a third defense of his title against undefeated American light heavyweight superstar Chad “Bad” Dawson (29-0-0, 17KO) on Saturday, August 14th at the Bell Centre in Montreal.

The highly anticipated event will be broadcast live on HBO as part of their World Championship Boxing series, and will mark the first time ever that the main event of the prestigious series will be aired live from Canada.

This night of championship boxing will be co-promoted by GYM and GSP: “After several discussions we agreed that the best place for this historic fight to take place would be Montreal. Thanks to Gary Shaw we were able to count on HBO’s participation, as they have broadcast all of Chad Dawson’s matches since 2008. This will be without a doubt the most important boxing event in history in which a fighter from Quebec has participated in the main event” said Yvon Michel, president of GYM. Read More

Troy “The Boss” Ross suffered a severe cut under his left eye cause by the thumb of Steve “USS” Cunningham in his first shot at a world title yesterday in Neubrandenburg, Germany. The bout was stopped 0:01 of the 5th round.
It appears that Ross’ Montreal based promoter Yvon Michel of GYM Promotions who was ringside in Germany will file an appeal with the IBF when he returns to Montreal.
Sources say Ross will undergo surgery on the eye today in Germany.

I recently caught up with former Canadian Middleweight champion and former WBA Fedecentro Light Middleweight champion Larry “Razor” Sharpe (24W-7L, KO12) from Pine Falls, MB. I asked him a few questions about his upcoming fight on March 6th in Montreal against Nicholson Poulard (13W-3L, 6KO) of Laval, QC.

TBE: How is training camp going?

Larry: Going real well. I’ve been staying in shape and waiting for an opportunity to come up; then this one came up however we only had maybe three and a half weeks notice. I’ve been in Winnipeg as much as I can, sparring every second day. Been sparring pretty good-I mean, I was already in shape-it’s just a matter of getting the sparring in. I feel ready. Read More
