All Set for Gaumont vs Hiseni and Khataev vs Deines Tomorrow Night in Gatineau!

GATINEAU, December 11, 2025 — Tomorrow night, Buckingham’s pride, Alexandre Gaumont (13-0, 9 KOs), returns to fight in front of his home crowd as he attempts to overcome the toughest test of his career: Swiss contender Ramadan Hiseni (21-2-2, 8 KOs), who caused an upset in his last outing against an EOTTM fighter.

In the co-main event, in a highly anticipated clash on the international stage, Olympic medalist Imam Khataev (10-1, 9 KOs) will try to defend his NABF light-heavyweight title against former world title challenger Adam Deines (24-3-1, 13 KOs).

Also in action is the long-awaited return of Saint-André-Avellin’s pride and former world champion Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse (7-2, 2 KOs), back after more than 16 months of inactivity.

EOTTM’s undefeated prospect Avery Martin Duval (14-0-1, 8 KOs) will look to continue his rise against former European champion James Chereji. Boisbriand’s pride and four-time Canadian champion Victor Tremblay (1-0, 1 KO) will also appear on the card, as will Mike Moffa’s protégé Ayoub Maanni (3-0, 3 KOs) and Three Lions Promotion prospect Vadym Klym (1-0), who will kick off the evening at 6:30 p.m.




Full Undercard: 7 Must-See Fights on December 11 in Gatineau!

MONTRÉAL, December 2, 2025 — The Outaouais region will get the best of international boxing on December 11, as Olympic medalist Imam Khataev defends his NABF light-heavyweight title against former world title challenger Adam Deines at Casino Lac-Leamy. The bout will be featured as the co-main event to the clash between Buckingham’s pride, Alexandre Gaumont, and Swiss contender Ramadan Hiseni in Gatineau.

“I remember watching the world championship fight between Artur Beterbiev and Adam Deines four years ago. I absolutely cannot underestimate him. I also know that boxing fans, just like me, know that the judges should have given me the win against David Morrell in New York, but I plan to remind everyone who the real champion is in Gatineau, with a spectacular and flawless performance,” promised the powerful puncher nicknamed “The Destroyer,” Imam Khataev, currently in training camp at the Pound 4 Pound Boxing Club in Montréal.

Ranked 7th in the world at light heavyweight by the World Boxing Council (WBC) and the International Boxing Federation (IBF), Imam Khataev (10-1, 9 KOs) was originally set to face top-10 world contender Richard Rivera, before an injury forced the American to withdraw. The new matchup against Adam Deines (24-3-1, 14 KOs) promises to be just as — if not more — interesting. The German’s only three losses came against elite competition: a 12-round eliminator against Fanlong Mang, an 11-round unified world championship bout against Artur Beterbiev, and an 8-round fight against EOTTM protégé and now interim world champion Albert Ramirez. Two athletes with proven track records on the big stage will therefore face off in Gatineau in a fight that could once again propel the winner to the sport’s highest level.

Olympian Simon Kean and EOTTM prospect Thomas Chabot were forced to withdraw from the event due to injuries. Despite this, Punching Grace will still broadcast a seven-fight card as planned, featuring several local athletes, on December 11 starting at 6:30 p.m.

The pride of Saint-André-Avellin and former world champion, Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse (7-2, 1 KO), will make her long-awaited return—after more than 16 months of absence. She is scheduled for an eight-round fight (or less) against American boxer and former bare-knuckle fighter Sonya Dreiling (7-9, 2 KO). This will mark Lepage-Joanisse’s debut in the super-middleweight division (168 lb), after having won the WBC world title at 175 lb in 2024.

In a ten-round lightweight bout, EOTTM prospect Avery Martin Duval (14-0-1, 8 KO) will attempt to continue his rise as he faces Romanian veteran and former European champion James Chereji (22-7, 10 KO).

Also on the card, in the cruiserweight division, Montrealer and Mike Moffa protégé Ayoub Maanni (3-0, 3 KO) will try to keep his perfect record intact against Calgary boxer Anton Tokarchuk (1-2). In a super-featherweight fight, Boisbriand sensation and four-time Canadian amateur champion Victor Tremblay (1-0, 1 KO) will take on Alberta’s Wade Hodgson, who is making his professional debut. And kicking off the event, in the welterweight division, Ontario-based boxer and Three Lions Promotions protégé Vadym Klym (1-0) will meet Western Canadian fighter Michael Parker (5-1, 2 KO) in a third bout scheduled for four rounds.

A limited number of tickets for #GaumontHiseni, taking place on December 11 at Casino Lac-Leamy, are still available via Ticketmaster (HERE). The event will also be broadcast starting at 6:30 PM on Punching Grace. Photos from recent fights featuring Alexandre GaumontImam Khataev, and other EOTTM undercard fighters are also available (HERE).




Gaumont and Khataev in Action, with Kean and Joanisse Coming Back on December 11!

MONTREAL, October 10, 2025 — The Outaouais region will be treated to the best of local and international boxing on December 11, as EOTTM returns to Casino Lac-Leamy to close out the year with a bang. Headlining the event, Buckingham’s pride Alexandre Gaumont will face Ramadan Hiseni, while Olympic medalist and top-10 light heavyweight contender Imam Khataev will fight in the co-main event. Also making big comebacks in Gatineau: Simon Kean and former world champion Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse!

“As always, it’s a privilege to fight in front of my people. This will be the biggest test of my career, and my first scheduled 10-round fight, but I’m not worried. After two back-to-back training camps, I’ll be in the best shape of my life—and with the crowd behind me, I’ll be stronger than ever,” promised Alexandre Gaumont.

Nicknamed “King Cogne” for his impressive punching power, Alexandre Gaumont (13-0, 9 KOs) will be making his second appearance of the year. Last April, he scored the KO of the night by stopping French champion Mathis Lourenco in the 4th round. It will also be his second main event at Casino Lac-Leamy, having knocked out Uruguayan champion Andres Viera in round 2 last October.

However, Swiss contender Ramadan Hiseni (21-2-2, 8 KOs) represents the toughest opponent of Gaumont’s pro career. Last year, he came to Quebec and surprised fans by earning a draw against former EOTTM prospect Shamil Khataev. Having won his last two fights, Hiseni also promises to be in the best shape of his life, fresh from a training camp in Germany with none other than Osleys “El Tornado” Iglesias.

“Last time I fought an Eye of the Tiger boxer, I’m convinced I should’ve won. It’s always harder to win on the road, so this time I won’t leave any doubt. It’ll be veni, vidi, vici for me on December 11,” said Ramadan Hiseni, who has only two losses by decision in 25 fights.

In the co-main event, world top-10 contender and Olympic medalist Imam Khataev (10-1, 9 KOs) returns to Quebec after three international appearances—in the U.S., Australia, and Russia. Last July, he wowed thousands of fans and tens of thousands of viewers in New York, when, on a Ring Magazine card, he became the first to knock down former world champion David Morrell Jr., before narrowly losing via a highly controversial split decision.

“I still believe the judges should have awarded the win to Imam Khataev. But what matters is that the whole world saw Imam that night. Now we move forward, and I must say, we’re especially proud to bring a boxer of this caliber to Gatineau. Alongside Alex Gaumont, it’s the best of both worlds, and I believe this will be the best card since our return to the Outaouais,” said EOTTM President Camille Estephan.

Other Eye of the Tiger rising stars Avery Martin Duval (14-0-1, 8 KOs) and Thomas Chabot (11-0, 8 KOs) will also be in action on December 11. Adding to the night’s excitement, former heavyweight world champion Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse (7-2, 2 KOs) will return to the ring for the first time since July 2024. Also returning: Mauricie’s “Grizzly” Simon Kean (23-2, 22 KOs), stepping into the ring after over two years of absence.

“A lot of people will wonder why. The answer is simple: unfinished business. I still have some scores to settle in professional boxing,” explained Olympian Simon Kean, who has publicly expressed his interest in facing Arslanbek Makhmudov several times in recent years…

Tickets for #GaumontHiseni, taking place on December 11 at Casino Lac-Leamy, are on sale now via Ticketmaster (HERE). The event will also be broadcast starting at 6:30 PM on Punching Grac
