MONTREAL — Montreal’s own Steven Butler (37-5-1, 31 KOs) is set for a high-stakes main event tomorrow night at the Casino de Montréal, where he faces Swiss spoiler Ramadan Hiseni (22-2-2, 8 KOs) for the WBA Continental Super Middleweight Championship (168 lbs).
For Butler, this bout is about more than gold — it’s about redemption and defending the pride of Montreal’s famed Eye of the Tiger Management (EOTTM). Hiseni has already stunned two EOTTM fighters in the past, earning upset wins over Shamil Khataev and Alex Gaumont. Now, he looks to shake up the division again against one of Canada’s most dangerous punchers.

- Butler: 167.5 lbs
- Hiseni: 167.4 lbs
Both fighters came in under the 168-pound limit, setting the stage for a razor-close battle.
Co-Main Event: Perez vs. Chilemba
In the co-feature, Cuban knockout artist Lenar Perez (15-0, 14 KOs) aims to capture the WBA Continental Light Heavyweight Championship against seasoned veteran Isaac Chilemba (27-10-3, 11 KOs), a former world title challenger known for his durability and ring IQ.
Weigh-In Results
- Perez: 199 lbs
- Chilemba: 191.5 lbs
Perez enters with serious momentum, boasting a near-perfect knockout ratio. Chilemba, however, brings invaluable experience against elite competition.

Fendero Eyes Continental Gold
Marc Ramsay-trained prospect Moreno Fendero (13-0, 10 KOs) looks to claim the WBC Continental Super Middleweight title when he faces American contender Shawn McCalman (17-1, 8 KOs). Fendero’s rapid rise has positioned him as another cornerstone of the EOTTM stable.
