According to reports from the WBC, David Lemieux (25-1-0) is defending his WBC International middleweight title on November 17 in Montreal. At least that was the information that was communicated to the sanctioning body from Lemieux's promoter, GYM. In his most recent fight, fought at the Bell Centre on April 8th, Lemieux suffered the first defeat of his young career, getting knocked out by Marco Antonio Rubio at 2:36 of the seventh round in middleweight world title eliminator. Last month, including Lemieux served as training partner in California for Sergio Martinez. It remains to be seen whether the return of Lemieux will remain on that date or later in the fall.
