(April 7, 2025) — Undefeated lightweight contender Dzmitry Asanau will defend his WBC Continental Americas belt in a 10-round lightweight main event against former two-time European champion Francesco Patera this Thursday, April 10, at Casino de Montréal in Montreal, Canada.
The co-feature will showcase unbeaten puncher Christopher Guerrero versus Mexico’s Oliver “El Monaguillo” Quintana in a 10-round tilt for the vacant WBC Continental Americas welterweight belt.
Promoted by Eye of the Tiger, Asanau-Patera, Guerrero-Quintana, and undercard bouts will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT.
Asanau, a 2016 Olympian from Belarus, is a three-year pro who has taken the fast track to contention after defeating the likes of Andy Cruz and Hector Luis Garcia as an amateur. He signed with Eye of the Tiger last year and made his Canadian debut that August with an eight-round decision over Alexis Gabriel Camejo on the Christian Mbilli-Sergiy Derevyanchenko card. Less than three months later, he stopped former world title challenger Matias Rueda in five rounds. Patera (30-5, 11 KOs) last held the European title from 2018-2019 and is 2-1 since a 2023 decision defeat to Keyshawn Davis.
Guerrero (13-0, 8 KOs) has been on a knockout run of late, stopping eight of his last nine opponents. In February, he became the first man to knock out 33-fight veteran Dennis Dauti, stopping him in round four of a scheduled 10-rounder. Quintana (22-3, 16 KOs) has never fought outside of Mexico and is coming off a split decision victory over Chester Parada Torales.
