Cloutier's Canada Corner
Bute vs. Froch? Not On May 5th
By Daniel Cloutier
Yesterday "Le Journal de Montréal" ran an article about IBF
Super Middleweight Champ Lucian Bute and his next opponent.
According to David Messier, InterBox Public Relations
representative, "We don’t have any deal or agreement with Ed
Hearn for the fight Bute vs. Froch in Nottingham May 5th. A
fight with Bute/Froch in England May 5th is not logical. We
have a date for April 14th in Montréal and we still want to
get Carl Froch for that event. We are still waiting for his
answer. But May 5th seems illogical because two of the most
popular fighters in the world, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and
Miguel Cotto, will fight that night in Las Vegas. All the
attention of the boxing fans in the world will be focused on
Las Vegas. We have until March 9th to hear back, then we
make a decision."
Messier added, "Even if there is no certainty as to the date
of a possible clash with Froch (28-2, 20 KOs), Bute (30-0,
24 KOs) will leave anyway to training camp next Monday in
West Palm Beach, Florida.
Pier-Olivier Cote Health Report
Dr. Pierre Doré confirmed that Pier-Olivier has no disease.
Medical tests are showing that he is just suffering from
over training. He will take few months of rest, and get back
in the gym. At this point, we don’t know when Pier-Olivier
will have his next bout.
