U.S. Fans Get Opportunity To See The IBF World Super Middleweight Title Bout

That Will Take Place In Canada

 

LOS ANGELES - On November 28th American boxing fans and fans all over the world will have the chance

to witness the anxiously awaited rematch of Lucian Bute and Librado Andrade as they battle for the IBF

World Super Middleweight Title and the event will be aired live on HBO's Boxing After Dark. The fight marks

the first time since 1977 that the famed American network will travel north of the border to broadcast a fight

from Canada.

 

"I'm thrilled to be partnering with Interbox and HBO on this exciting rematch between two of the top super

middleweights in the world," said Oscar de la Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions. "We wanted to

make sure we could offer this fight to both the Canadian and American boxing fans and everyone should

expect fireworks on November 28th."

 

"It's an honour for us to welcome HBO to Canada for the first time in over 30 years, said InterBox CEO Jean

Bedard. "We look forward to collaborating with one of the greatest US Television networks. This will be a

great opportunity for Lucian to get the highest visibility possible in his sport and to showcase all his skills to

prove he's a World class Champion."

 

"We're excited to do our first ever "Boxing After Dark" from Canada," said Luis Barragan, director of

programming, HBO Sports. "The Canadian crowd generated a tremendous atmosphere for the first fight and

there's obviously some unfinished business between these two fighters so we expect great boxing action."

 

The first time the IBF World Super Middleweight Champion, Bute (24-0-0, 19 KO's) and IBF number one

ranked super middleweight contender, Andrade (28-2-0, 21 KO's) met in the ring, a war ensued, leaving Bute

the winner of a controversial decision. Now, with the rematch scheduled, each hopes to leave everything in

the ring on November 28th to settle fans curiosities over who is the true champion.

 

Bute vs. Andrade II is presented by Golden Boy Promotions and InterBox, and will be held in Quebec City,

Canada. The fight, along with a co-featured HBO televised bout which will be announced shortly, will air live

on HBO's Boxing After Dark beginning at 10:00pm ET/PT.
