(MAR 9) LAVAL, Québec,
Canada — A loaded undercard for the Jean Pascal
vs. Michael “Diesel” Eifert International Boxing Federation (IBF)
Light Heavyweight Title Eliminator card, “No Limit”, presented
by Mise-O-Jeu, has been announced for March 16th at Place Bell
in Laval, Canada.
Two former world champions and a pair of Olympians and three
female bouts will be showcased on “No Limit,” which will be
available on ESPN+ in the United States,but available in Canada
on Canal Indigo, Bell TV, Shaw TV and worldwide on GYMBoxe.tv
and Fite.tv.
“No Limit” is promoted by DiBella Entertianment, in association
with Groupe Yvon Michel and Jean Pascal Promotions, and in
collaboration with Blanko Sports and SES Sports Events GmbH.
Pascal (36-6-1, 20 KOs), a two-time World Light Heavyweight
Champion, takes on his German opponent, Eifert (11-1, 4 KOs),
the actual IBF Inter-Continental and former unified IBF/WBC and
WBO Youth Champion, in the 12-round main event to determine the
mandatory challenger for IBF World title holder Artur Beterbiev
(19-0, 19 KOs). Haiti-native Pascal, who has lived in Montreal
since the late 1980s, is rated No. 3 by the IBF, while Eifert is
ranked No. 5.
“The Jean Pascal vs. Michael Eifert IBF world title eliminator
at Place Bell, in Laval, Quebec, Canada, will be supported by a
tremendous undercard on March 16,” said Lou DiBella, President
of DiBella Entertainment. “Fans in attendance will be treated to
an exciting all-Canadian co-feature between super lightweights
Mathieu Germain, of Quebec, and Steven Wilcox, of Ontario, in a
10-round contest. Canada’s women’s boxing scene will be well
represented with former world title challenger Jessica Camara
and Olympian Caroline Veyre, both from Montreal, in separate
bouts, along with Ontario’s Amanda Galle, who is on the verge of
a world title opportunity. Ireland’s light heavyweight prospect
Joe Ward will look to add another impressive win to his ledger
on the eve of St. Patrick’s Day and Italy’s amateur prodigy Yoel
Angeloni will make his North American debut.”
Providing chief support in the 10-round, co-featured event is an
exciting Canadian showdown for the IBF Inter-Continental super
lightweight title between popular Mathieu “G-Time” Germain
(21-2-1, 9 KOs) from Mascouche Quebec and Steven Wilcox (24-3-1,
7 KOs) from Hamilton Ontario. Germain, a former IBF
International super lightweight champion, is riding a 3-fight
win streak that started with his impressive victory over Steve
Claggett (33-7-2, 23 KOs) by way of a 10-round decision. One of
four boxing brothers, Wilcox is a former NABA Canadian super
lightweight titleist who has won his last 6 straight matches.
Mathieu Germain is extremely excited about the opportunity: “I
have been looking for this kind of fight for a long time where a
victory will propel me directly with the best contenders in my
division! I promise you I won't miss, and I'll leave the ring
with this belt around my waist."
World title contender Jessica "Cobra" Camara (10-3, 2 KOs), of
Montreal, returns to Quebec for the first time since 2019.
Camara has since fought 5 fights in the United States, including
for the WBA and WBO super lightweight world championships versus
Kali Reis (19-7-1, 5 KOs) in New Hampshire in November 2021. She
lost a split decision in an extremely close and hard-fought
fight, but has rebounded with two victories heading into this
contest. Prisca Vicot was to be her opponent, but she withdrew
last weekend. To replace her, Karla Ramos Zamora (9-9-1, 2KO) of Puebla for 10 rounds at super lightweight. The latter, who
knocked out Viscot in 2020, accepted the challenge. Zamora is
well known in Quebec for having offered a solid opposition to
Leila Beaudoin last September, as evidenced by the 3 scores of
58-56 from the judges.
Another exciting female prospect is undefeated bantamweight and
former Canadian amateur champion, Amanda Galles (7-0-1, 1 KO),
who meets Lorena Cruz Aispuro (4-2, 0 KOs), of Mexico, in an
8-rounder.
Irish eyes will be smiling for promising Irishman “Mighty”
Joseph Ward (8-1, 4 KOs), a 2016 Ireland Olympian, who will lead
the St. Patrick’s Day celebration in an 8-round fight versus
Mexican light heavyweight Mario Andrade Rodriguez (7-0, 4 KOs).
Rising featherweight star Caroline Veyre (2-0), a decorated
Canadian amateur and 2020 Olympian, faced Emma "Valkyria"
Gongora (5-2), of Marseille, France, in a 6-round match. The
latter was injured in training and provided medical evidence on
Tuesday. Another opponent will be announced this week.
Italian welterweight sensation Yoel Angeloni (1-0), the latest
discovery of New York City-based promoter Lou DiBella, will make
his North American debut as a professional in a 4-round battle
against Alexander Calixto (1-1, 0 KOs).
