Erik Bazinyan Injured Steven Butler Bout Rescheduled

Erik Bazinyan has sustained a right ankle deltoid ligament sprain during training, sidelining him for several weeks and forcing the postponement of his March 14 fight against Steven Butler at Théâtre St-Denis in Montreal.

“Despite a strong undercard, including Mary Spencer’s world title defense, we found ourselves in a situation similar to the Beterbiev-Smith scenario,” said Eye of the Tiger President Camille Estephan. “It’s heartbreaking, but it would be unfair and disrespectful to go on without our main event—especially when fans specifically bought tickets to see Bazinyan vs. Butler.”

Information about the new date for the clash between Bazinyan (32-1-1, 23 KOs) and Butler (35-5-1, 29 KOs), as well as the full undercard, will be announced soon. Ticket refunds will be automatically issued by Ticketpro to the credit card used for purchase within the next two weeks. If you do not receive your refund by then, please email info@ticketpro.ca.
