Eye of The Tiger Management was hoping to land Curtis Stevens as the opponent for IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux, but that won't happen according to Canadian outlet RDS.

While a middleweight slugfest between former IBF beltholder David Lemieux and top rated Curtis Stevens had been reported as being a done deal last week. It turned out not to be the case. But there is definitely interest in making that fight.

While there is a lot of talk of a middleweight slugfest between former IBF titlist David Lemieux and the hard-hitting Curtis Stevens - there is no deal finalized, as of yet, for the two to meet in the fall.

Eye of the Tiger Management, who handle former IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux, advised TVA Sports that the Canadian puncher will return to the ring against another feared hitter, Curtis Stevens, on October 22 in Montreal.
