Last man standing<\/h2>\n

Patrice Volny<\/strong> has sharply asserted his intention to live up to his nickname \u201cVicious\u201d on June 6, setting the stage for one of the most anticipated duels in the country in recent years; a showdown of national significance against Steven \u201cBang Bang\u201d Butler<\/strong>. The two Montreal titans will clash in the arena of the Cabaret du Casino de Montreal in a bout scheduled for 10 rounds aimed at determining once and for all who owns the town. Furthermore, with the WBC Francophone<\/strong> middleweight title also on the line, the winner will once again be propelled onto the world stage.<\/p>\n

This latest chapter of great Quebec rivalries will be broadcast starting at 7:00 PM on the Punching Grace<\/strong> and ESPN+ channels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re talking about a local fight, an international-scale fight, and above all, a fight our fans have been clamoring for for some time, so we are more than happy to finally offer it to them. For our team, it also fits into the desire to bring Steven Butler back to the top, but this time, by first cleaning up our own backyard,\u201d says Camille Estephan<\/strong>, president of the Montreal-based company Eye of the Tiger.<\/p>\n

His protege, Quebec slugger Steven Butler (34-4-1, 28 KOs)<\/strong>, is on a mission in 2024. Ranked first in Canada at 160 lbs according to Boxrec, it took him only 65 seconds to defeat the then #2 in the country, Ontario\u2019s Steve Rolls, last March. Now that this matter is settled, \u201cBang Bang\u201d wants to climb the world rankings again, and to do so, he aims to definitively settle the debate with his Canadian, Quebecois, and Montreal compatriot, Patrice Volny<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nothing personal, but our paths cross. I\u2019ll simply show everyone who is the king of the mountain at 160 pounds in Quebec,\u201d says Steven Butler<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The task ahead, however, looks daunting, as while BoxRec considers Butler the 14th best middleweight in the world, Patrice Volny (18-1, 12 KOs)<\/strong> closely follows at 20th. Like his rival, he scored his most significant KO in his last fight, stopping American DeAndre Ware in the 10th round last February in Halifax. However, in June, the former NABA and WBO NABO 160-pound champion will box in Montreal for the first time in nearly seven years, returning home with the iron will to make an important point:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not nicknamed \u2018Vicious\u2019 for nothing,\u201d asserts Patrice Volny<\/strong>, equally eager to take control of the Quebecois 160-pound mountain\u2026<\/p>\n

Osleys Iglesias<\/strong>, Arthur Biyarslanov, Shamil Khataev<\/strong>, Jhon Orobio<\/strong>, and Luis Santana\u00a0<\/b>will also be in action during this boxing card, which promises to be explosive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Steven Butler will face Patrice Volny for the WBC Francophone title on June 6, live at the Montreal Casino and on Punchinggrace.com...","protected":false},"author":2570,"featured_media":14731,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"class_list":["post-14734","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"video_Iframe":"","event_script":"
