DIACONU VS. PASCAL II
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11TH AT THE MONTREAL BELL CENTRE
LOCAL SUPREMACY AGAIN ON THE LINE!
InterBox and Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) are proud to announce
that all parties have officially come to terms on the staging of the
highly anticipated World title rematch bout between WBC World Light
Heavyweight champion Jean Pascal (24-1-0, 16 KO) from Laval, and former
WBC champion Adrian « The Shark » Diaconu (26-1-0 15 KO) from Montreal.
This bout is scheduled to take place Friday, December 11th 2009 at the
Montreal Bell Centre.
Presented by the Casino de Montreal, this bout will mark Jean Pascal’s
second defense of the title he won against Adrian Diaconu last June 19th
in a spectacular give-and-take war between two fierce competitors.
Pascal won the title by way of unanimous decision in what many observers
believe to be one of the best local bouts in the history of Canada and a
strong contender for Fight of the Year honors on the International scene.
According to Yvon Michel, President of GYM: “Montreal will relive
another great moment in sports! The stakes are huge for both boxers, and
both have much to win and to lose”.
Jean Pascal is coming off a brilliant victory (TKO 10) against mandatory
opponent Silvio Branco from Italy. Pascal is set to depart for training
camp on Wednesday. He will spend the next 6 weeks in Colombia and in
Florida. “My trainers and I have planned a global training camp that
will permit me be as ready and efficient as ever for Diaconu this
December 11th. I plan on getting rid of him for good” stated Pascal.
