On February 23, the Colisée Desjardins in Victoriaville will throb with the intense Quebec-Ontario rivalry as Montreal's Steven Butler and Toronto's Steve Rolls clash in the finals of Eye of the Tiger's inaugural event in the region. In collaboration with the Tigres de Victoriaville and DiBella Entertainment, the night's action will be simulcast on the ESPN+ network and PunchingGrace.com. "We're thrilled to establish our presence in Victoriaville through this partnership with the Tigres, ensuring our debut event at the Colisée Desjardins stands as a premier spectacle worthy of the big leagues! Local showdowns often ignite immense excitement, but with Steven Butler and Steve Rolls, both Canadian boxers of international caliber, we guarantee an electrifying show," remarks EOTTM president Camille Estephan. Having revamped his training routine, Butler (33-4-1, 27 KOs) marked his return to victory in a November 14 bout against Ivan Alvarez, stopping him in the ninth round. Supported by his new trainer John Scully, known as "Bang Bang" and currently holding the top rank in the 160 lb category in Canada, Butler aims to further his progress and reclaim the pinnacle of the middleweight division, commencing with his clash against the #2 Canadian contender, Rolls.
