Osleys Iglesias is to fight Petro Ivanov at the Cabaret du Casino de Montreal in Montreal, Canada on November 7.

The Cuban super middleweight, 26, who stopped Sena Agbeko in August, said: “I’m happy to be fighting so often. Petro Ivanov is an undefeated guy who dreams of becoming a world champion. 

“Most importantly, he’s brave enough to step into the ring with me. I respect that, but I’ll make sure to deliver yet another electrifying performance for the fans in Montreal and worldwide.”

Ivanov, 28 and of Ukraine, said: “I’m looking forward to November 7. It’s an incredible opportunity to make my mark on the global stage. I know Iglesias is strong and hits hard, but in our sport, everyone is beatable. I’m going to train hard to ensure he’s no exception.”

Steven Butler will fight Diego Chaves at middleweight in the chief support, by when Leila Beaudoin and Edith Soledad Matthysse will have fought at 130lbs, Dzmitry Asanau-Matias Rueda will have taken place at lightweight, Wilkens Mathieu and Marcos Karalitzky will have shared the ring at light heavyweight, and Thomas Chabot-Jhon Orobio will have met at super featherweight.
