Fight for Life Promotions invites boxing fans to join the fight against breast cancer. They have organized a boxing gala at the Corona Theatre in Montreal on November 11. The program will feature heavyweight Bermane Stiverne (18-1-1) against an opponent to be announced. Also, world contender Olivier Lontchi (18-1-2) will compete against Colombian Oswaldo Miranda (9-2-0), while young sensation Dierry Jean (18-0-0) will face the Puerto Rican Wilfredo Negron ( 26-15-1).
The evening will be attended by the winner of numerous Stanley Cups and a member of the Hall of Fame, Yvan Cournoyer. The number of tickets is limited and can be purchased through admission. This fundraising event aims to support patients and survivors of breast cancer. Note that a donation of 25% of the price of each ticket will go directly to research against cancer. A four-course dinner (+ wine) is served for guests in the pit.
