Pascal moved to Canada as a teen and fought for Canada in the Olympics and learned to box there.

Bute moved there early in his pro career. He was born and raised in Romania and fought his entire amateur career there and learned to box there. He is not a Canadian citizen.

Lemieux is the only elite boxer born and bred in Canada, Moliter sucks.



Moving to a country for better economic oppertunities doesn't erase who you are though. Even if Bute was a Canadian citizen i'd always consider him Romanian.

Who says he's bleeding for Canada? He's fighting where he can earn the most money. If someone like Abraham who moved to Germany at 15 i believe and fought most of his amateur career in Germany wants to represnt both Armenia and Germany, cool, but he doesn't cease being Armenian.

That's very true, migration occurs for many varied reasons. He may well represent Canada purely for financial gain, and his heart may actually lie with Haiti.

But I feel that as he's a canadian citizen and represents Canada when he fights, then, in the absence of an interview confirming how he sees himself, I'm inclined to say he's Canadian.

That could of course change should he at some point say otherwise, but until he does so I'll see him as Canadian, just as I see other boxers who may have moved at a very young age to a different country, or whose ethnicity may lie other than their country of citizenship, and have also not confirmed how they see themselves.
