Former Super Middleweight champion Lucian Bute will be back in action on December 6 at the Bell centre in Montreal when he takes on former world title challenger Roberto Bolonti.
“I wanted to face a quality opponent who is coming to fight,” Bute said. “Bolonti is a persistent, come-forward boxer who is difficult to rattle. This is exactly what I need, and exactly what I will train to counter.”
“Bolonti is an excellent challenge for Lucian and InterBox is very happy to have concluded an agreement with this popular boxer of world caliber,” Bedard said. “Bolonti had several other options but chose to fight Lucian. Judging by the performance of Bolonti in his last fight for a world championship, our fans are in for a real treat.”
“I feel better and more confident for this bout than for others I had abroad before,” Bolonti said. “It is going to be a good fight for sure. I want to win clearly in order to have a new world title chance, because this fight against Bute will be like a bridge (to) another world championship opportunity.”
