Spencer vs Mayer boasts stacked undercard for Oct 30
The stakes will be high from start to finish as a lineup of champions and top prospects will clash on October 30 at the Casino de Montréal. In addition to the massive WBA super welterweight world title showdown between Mary Spencer and Mikaela Mayer, five other bouts — including three more title fights — will take place on a card that is guaranteed to deliver.
Title Fights and Top Contenders
The action will be explosive as three-time top-15 world contender Arthur ‘The Wolf’ Biyarslanov (19-0, 16 KOs) will make the fourth defense of his NABF super lightweight title. The undefeated Canadian Olympian faces 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. Arthur wants to prove he’s ready to hunt with the big dogs, and this fight will show the world just that,” said Biyarslanov’s coach, Samuel Décarie-Drolet.
Also in action, undefeated 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 a tough test against Ralfs’ The Train’ Vilcans (18-2, 7 KOs).
In the first of five title fights that night, Christopher’ Machine Gun’ Guerrero (15-0, 9 KOs) will defend his WBC Continental Americas welterweight title for the second time this year, against brawler Williams Andres Herrera (17-4, 7 KOs). Herrera, a tough fighter from Argentina, has given top prospects like Josh Wagner and Paddy Donovan trouble.
“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 Guerrero.
The Rise of the Undefeated
Adding to the explosive card are two super featherweight matchups between four undefeated boxers. 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).
Kicking off the night is EOTTM’s prospect and junior amateur world champion Erik Israyelyan (2-0, 2 KOs), who will put his perfect record on the line against Calgary prospect Dylan Schroeder (6-0, 4 KOs).
With six titles on the line, the event is set to be a sellout.
