Mikaela Mayer won the WBA/WBC/WBO super welterweight titles with a 10-round unanimous decision over Mary Spencer at Montreal Casino in Montreal, Canada.

Mayer was the more active fighter as she came out from the opening bell unleashing heavy combinations. She seemed to do that round after round with the bigger Spencer landing some good shots but they were one at a time. Mayer, who was a champion at 130, 135 (interim) and is currently the WBO Welterweight title adds more hardware to her trophy case as she won by scores of 100-90 and 98-92 twice.

Mayer, 151 lbs of Colorado Springs, CO is 22-2. Spencer, 152.8 lbs of Montreal is 10-3.

“Usually, I’m the taller fighter. But because I’m the taller fighter, I also know how to beat me. And it’s never good when you’re the taller fighter and you let the other fighter get underneath.”

“So, I knew I had to come up underneath Mary Spencer and just come over the top with the big hooks. That’s what we trained for, and you saw me towards the last three rounds of the fight, really landing those big right and left hooks to the head.”

“I think the most important thing is I have options. That’s great in boxing. You always want options. I came off two years where my career kind of took a left turn. I had to navigate my way back to this position. So having options is definitely a blessing.”

“I’ll have to go back and go over things my team. I would love to defend both belts. I can go back to 147, become undisputed there, and maybe come back up and defend at 154.”

“I think I’m a natural 147-pounder. Mary Spencer is a strong, solid opponent. Props to her. She didn’t have to take this fight. She took a big risk taking on a fighter like me. And I always come forward and put on tough fights, so props to her.”

“She’s a heavy-handed girl. And 154 is different. But I think that was a great experience for me, and I can do both. I can do both, so we’ll have to see what is the best option we have.”

In an entertaining super middleweight bout, Wilens Mathieu won a 10-round unanimous decision over Shakeel Phinn.

In round three, Mathieu rocked Phinn with a hard right and then dropped Phinn with a right to the head.

Mathieu had Phinn in trouble several more times, but Phinn hung in there and was able to back up Mathieu and make the fight interesting, but it was noy enough as Mathieu won by scores of 99-90 and 98-91 twice.

Mathieu, 167.8 lbs of Montreal is 15-0. P

Arthur Biyarslanov remained undefeated with a 10-round unanimous decision over former world champion Sergey Lipinets in a junior welterweight bout.

Biyarslanov, 139.7 lbs of Toronto won by scores of 99-90,97-92 and 96-93 and is now 20-0. Lipinets, 139.6 lbs of Woodland Hills, CA is 18-5-1.

In round four, Lipinets began to bleed from his forehead

In round three, Biyarslanov landed a straight left that put Lipinets on his back.

Christopher Guerrero won an 10-round unanimous decision over Williams Andres Herrera in a welterweight bout.

Guerrero, 146.9 lbs of Montreal won by scores of 99-91, 98-92 and 97-93 and is now 16-0. Herrera, 146.3 lbs of Argentina is 17-10.

MONTREAL, September 19, 2025 — The stakes will be high — from start to finish — on October 30 at the Casino de Montréal. In addition to the WBA super welterweight world title fight between Mary Spencer and Mikaela Mayer, and the NABF and WBC Continental Americas super middleweight titles between Wilkens Mathieu and Shakeel Phinn, five other bouts — including three more title fights — will take place on the undercard.

First, three-time top-15 world contender Arthur ‘The Wolf’ Biyarslanov (19-0, 16 KOs) will make the 4th defense of his NABF super lightweight title against what’s expected to be his biggest test to date, former world champion Sergey ‘Samurai’ Lipinets (18-4-1, 13 KOs).

“Lipinets is as tough as they come, a veteran who’s seen it all, a former world champion. But that’s exactly what makes this fight exciting: experience versus hunger, the old lion against the young hungry wolf. Arthur wants to prove he’s ready to hunt with the big dogs, and this fight will show the world just that,” said Canadian Olympian Biyarslanov’s coach, Samuel Décarie-Drolet.

Also in action, Olympian and top-15 contender Mehmet Unal (13-0, 11 KOs) will make his first defense of the WBC Continental Americas light heavyweight title, in what’s expected to be an explosive matchup against Ralfs ‘The Train’ Vilcans (18-2, 7 KOs).

“Vilcans is a very solid technician who’s also extremely durable, as shown in the tough fight he gave Anthony Yarde! For Mehmet, this will be a real test to see where he stands among the elite of the division,” said Unal’s head coach and EOTTM’s director of development, Marc Ramsay.

In the first of five title fights that night, Montreal’s Christopher ‘Machine Gun’ Guerrero (15-0, 9 KOs) will defend his WBC Continental Americas welterweight title for the second time this year, against the opponent he was initially scheduled to face last June: brawler Williams Andres Herrera (17-4, 7 KOs). A tough fighter from La Calera, Argentina, Herrera has previously won the IBF Latino title. Along the way, he gave tough fights to Josh Wagner, Paddy Donovan, and more recently, Pat McCormack, with whom he went the distance in England. However, Guerrero is determined to send a message — to the boxing world, and to his opponent.

“I am planning to show that this year is mine to take. I want a top-5 ranking sooner than later and I think this fight — plus how decisively I am going to win it — will inch me closer than ever to the top of the division,” said Christopher Guerrero, currently ranked 19th by the WBC at 147 lbs.

Also on the card, two super featherweight matchups between four undefeated boxers. In an 8-round bout, Thetford Mines’ own Thomas ‘The Ghost’ Chabot (11-0, 8 KOs) returns to face Canadian lightweight champion Logan ‘The Toon Toon Terror’ Clouthier (6-0, 4 KOs). Then, kicking off the night in a 4-rounder, EOTTM’s prospect and junior amateur world champion Erik Israyelyan (2-0, 2 KOs) will put his perfect record on the line against Calgary prospect Dylan Schroeder (6-0, 4 KOs).

MONTREAL, August 29, 2025 — There will be two main events at the Casino de Montréal on October 30. WBA super-welterweight world champion Mary Spencer will face American two-division world champion and pound-for-pound great Mikaela Mayer in one of the most significant women’s boxing matches ever held in Canada. Then, in a high-stakes local clash with two titles on the line, young sensation Wilkens Mathieu will take on Quebec warrior Shakeel Phinn in a highly anticipated super-middleweight clash.

“Last year, Mikaela Mayer headlined at Madison Square Garden. This fall, she’ll be here at the Casino de Montréal. That proves Quebec boxing belongs in the big leagues — and that Mary Spencer doesn’t back down from adversity. Her world title is on the line that night, and I have no doubt she’s ready to go to war to keep it,” said Eye of the Tiger president Camille Estephan.

“Never in a thousand years did I think I’d get the chance to fight Mikaela Mayer. I’ve followed her career a lot, and as a fan, I love her style — but what excites me most is that our styles mesh so well that this will be a truly memorable fight. Saying I’m excited is an understatement, and I hope the fans are too, because this will be epic,” promised world champion Mary Spencer.

A Canadian Olympian at the London Games and a three-time amateur world champion, Montreal-based Mary Spencer (10-2, 6 KOs) has developed into a top-level pro. Last September, she won the WBA super-welterweight world title against Germany’s Naomi Mannes. This past April, she successfully defended it by dominating former two-time world champion Ogleidis Suarez over 10 rounds, despite a serious hand injury. Now fully recovered, Spencer is more determined than ever to win her third straight world title fight.

Across the ring, Mikaela Mayer (21-2, 5 KOs), will be in the unusual position of challenger. An Olympian at the Rio Games, the Top Rank-promoted native of Los Angeles has held the WBO, IBF, and The Ring super featherweight titles. She later moved up to lightweight, capturing the interim WBC title, and in September 2024, won the WBO welterweight world title at The Theater at Madison Square Garden with a hard-fought majority decision over Sandy Ryan. She defended that belt in March, topping Ryan by unanimous decision in their rematch.

“I couldn’t get the undisputed fight with Lauren Price, so rather than take an easy touch, I looked for the next best challenge,” Mikaela Mayer said. “Beating Mary Spencer at 154 pounds will make me a three-division world champion, and although I may be on the smaller side, I have the necessary skills and experience. I’ll dethrone Mary and then head back down to welterweight to challenge Price. I will be stronger, sharper, and better than ever.”

While the Spencer vs. Mayer bout features two established champions, the Wilkens Mathieu (14-0, 10 KOs) vs. Shakeel Phinn (27-3-2, 17 KOs) clash will feature two fighters with something to prove.

“This is clearly the biggest test of my career — but that doesn’t mean I’ll be tested,” said a confident Wilkens Mathieu, a rising EOTTM star and Ring Magazine ambassador. “People always say boxing is about levels, and on September 30, I’m going to show everyone — including Shakeel Phinn — that he’s not on mine.”

“People think this will be a tough fight, but for Wilkens it’ll look easy. Expect a highlight-reel KO on October 30,” added his trainer, Montreal’s Giuseppe Moffa. Mathieu will fight for the NABF and WBC Continental Americas super-middleweight titles.

But being the underdog has never intimidated Shakeel Phinn. In May 2024, “The Jamaican Juggernaut” stepped into the ring at the Casino de Montréal against another undefeated EOTTM fighter, Erik Bazinyan. Despite being a heavy 8-to-1 underdog, Phinn shocked everyone by fighting to a draw — a result he believes should have gone in his favor. Determined not to leave anything to the judges this time, Phinn returns to the Casino with a clear mission.

Also on the October 30 card, three other champions will be in action. Top-10 super-lightweight contender Arthur Biyarslanov (19-0, 16 KOs) will make his fourth NABF title defense. Top-15 light heavyweight contender Mehmet Unal (13-0, 11 KOs) will defend his WBC Continental title for the first time, and top-20 welterweight contender Christopher Guerrero (15-0, 9 KOs) will make his second defense of the WBC Continental title. Fan favorite Thomas Chabot (11-0, 8 KOs) will also return to action, while rising junior amateur world champion Erik Israyelyan (2-0, 2 KOs) will look to keep his flawless record intact.

Tickets for the #SpencerMayer event — also featuring the #MathieuPhinn bout — are on sale now via Ticketmaster (HERE). Photos from recent fights of Mary Spencer, Wilkens Mathieu, and the EOTTM undercard boxers for the October 30 card at the Casino de Montréal are also available (HERE).

(April 29, 2024) — Undefeated super middleweight contender Erik Bazinyan returns in the 10-round main event against Shakeel Phinn this Thursday, May 2 at Casino de Montréal in Montreal, Canada. Bazinynan, ranked in the top 10 by all four major sanctioning organizations, hopes to put himself in line for an eventual world title opportunity. 
 
In the eight-round lightweight co-feature, unbeaten Canadian prospect Avery Martin Duval takes on Argentina’s Ezequiel Palaversic.
 
Promoted by Eye of The Tiger, Bazinyan-Phinn, Duval-Palaversic, and undercard bouts will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ starting at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
 
Bazinyan (32-0, 23 KOs) has spent the majority of his 10-year career competing in Canada after moving from Armenia when he was 16. He debuted in the U.S. in May 2019 with a points triumph over Alan Campa and knocked out Saul Roman in three that December. Last year, he scored decision wins against Alantez Fox in February and Jose de Jesus Macias in June before dispatching Ronald Ellis in six in October. Bazinyan initiated his 2024 campaign with a third-round stoppage against Billi Godoy in January. Phinn (26-3-1, 17 KOs) looks to extend his winning streak to six and returns after stopping Rafael Sosa Pintos in one round last October. The only blemishes on his record have come against unbeaten fighters. 
 
Duval (10-0-1, 6 KOs), a 22-year-old prospect who turned pro in June 2019, went 4-0 with three knockouts before being held to a split draw against Esteban Hernandez Arroyo in December 2020. He avenged the draw by winning their rematch via four-round decision the following August. Duval has not fought since he stopped Andres Sanchez Ramirez via third-round TKO last June. Palaversic (8-2-1, 4 KOs) looks to bounce back from a split draw against Alexander Gustavo Dominguez in December.
