Hello taco fight fans, thanks for tuning in today’s episode of knuckle up featuring myself, mike orr and my man, cedric ben, in the den bringing you the hottest youngest undefeated and undiscovered prospects from around the world.
Last week we touched on boxer and their new and up and coming fighters this week we’re going to be talking about aya of the tiger promotions based out of montreal canada um.
Definitely we got to represent our canadians, man doing it.
Big uh want to give you a little background of ira.
The tiger um, you know definitely uh since 2008.
I am.
The tiger has been committed to recruiting the most promising talent, um amy.
You know arming them with the tools and the support to ensure their success and creating opportunities that will allow them to scale the greatest heights of their endeavors uh to achieve excellent, they work uh with the same ferocity and determination their athletes do in the ring.
Ten years after its inception eye, the tiger uh is determined more determined than ever to its global building of its brand, and they want to be a force to be reckoned with on the international scene and to train champions who will transcend the sport and kindle passions.
Man, so guys, this is what we have to offer in canada.
These are.
These are one of our promotional companies they’re doing it big uh, they did join forces, um, camille, estefan of either tiger promotions and cameron.
Sorry and cameron, and joe duncan of d d.
Boxing have officially announced that they will be joining forces uh.
This is back in uh april last year.
Um you know duncan who was well known for working with, amongst others uh, you know of kelly pavlick terence crawford, nonito da nair, and currently promotes two of the hottest fighters in jeremias and brandon.
Lee is equally enthused about teaming up with estefan uh.
Bringing both rosters together will undoubtedly strengthen both companies, so either tigener and dnd boxing have signed a talent of trio of young fighters.
Samuel arnold of his punching power, the welterweight angel and anito perez, and the perez twins are both recently fought at the u.
s national championship.
So you know they’re, definitely you know doing big things here, but today we’re gon na definitely profile one of their top top men uh, and that is the man named david lemieux um.
Let me just break down a little bit about david lemieux here for a second.
This man give let give the details.
Let’S give you the quick, some real, quick, uh small power, puncher um, very good boxers as an amateur.
He actually turned pro before he actually turned senior.
That’S how confident that that they were in in his power, his coach um.
His original coast was russ amber, who you guys might recognize as one of the top uh hand rappers in this in the sport today who we’ve also interviewed on talking fight uh in the past: okay, okay, okay, um and so yeah man, power puncher out of montreal And now uh mike give him the details so right now, david lemieux is sitting at 43, wins with four losses: um he’s 36 and he’s 36 way wins by way of knockout uh.
Two of his four losses he’s been knocked out he’s in the super middleweight division.
Man he’s ranked number one out of 10 in canada and he’s ranked 11th out of 1312 in the world uh.
He stands: five, nine and a half with a 70 inch reach.
Now his most recent win is coming over david zerga back june 4.
2021.
So he hasn’t been in the ring too much in the uh in the past in the past year, uh, probably due to covid and the opportunities that uh have presented itself.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of boxers who’ve been sitting on the shelf uh, but the thing is is that this guy is up to fight none other than david benavidez.
Uh may the 21st this year guys yeah man that just shows you the um, the type of heart that he has um.
You know.
Obviously, the the the odds are gon na be against him, but he still took the fight and i uh you know still expect him to put up a good fight against one of the top boxes in the sport.
Someone who i believe is good enough to beat canelo, that’s uh, that’s how how highly regarded that i that i see david benavidez.
So if um, if david lemire, could pull this off, this would be one of the greatest victories.
Obviously, the best victory of his career.
Very big upset.
Definitely david lemieux is one of the most powerful boxers on the planet and never shies away from any challenge.
Uh.
You know he manages to seduce his crowds uh with his precision punching and his devastating power uh, certainly, but also thanks to his boundlessness energy and his charismatic personality uh throughout the kos david won, the quebec title, the wbc intercontinental youth title and the wbc intercontinental title.
You only need one round to defend.
You only need one round to defend against hector camacho jr, but will have to let the title go just over a year later, you know at the age of 33.
He demonstrates all his strength and his character by immediately wanting to face renowned boxers.
This is why we’re seeing him jumping in the ring against somebody like david benavidez man, he’s not afraid to jump in there and you know, do battle with some of the division’s top guys and uh.
You know he’s proven to the world that uh canada is in these top.
You know top contending spots, man and definitely uh you know – can be in the running four titles.
So you know just just to look at it.
