Jean Pascal, InterBox Pact Discussions Still Ongoing

By Luke Furman

According to the Montreal Journal, discussions are ongoing for a possible three fight agreement between InterBox and Jean Pascal Promotions, the company started by former WBC light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal (29-2-1, 17KOs).

If they are able to reach an agreement, Pascal's first fight would take place on December 6th, as part of the card which features the return of Lucian Bute at the Bell Centre in Montreal. A rematch with Bute would be part of the three fight agreement. Pascal dominated him over twelve rounds in January.

After the fight with Bute, Pascal's longtime agreement with GYM expired. He then entered into a three company deal between his own outfit, GYM and InterBox, but there was financial disagreements and Pascal broke off on his own.

Pascal is the mandatory challenger to WBC champion Adonis Stevenson, who is promoted by GYM and also expected to return in December.
