2016 Olympian Dzmitry Asanau will defend his spotless pro record in a ten-round lightweight contest against former two-time European champion Francesco Patera this Thursday, April 10th at Casino de Montréal. The co-feature will see unbeaten puncher Christopher Guerrero against Mexico’s Oliver “El Monaguillo” Quintana in a ten-round welterweight tilt. Promoted by Eye of the Tiger, Asanau-Patera, Guerrero-Quintana, and undercard bouts will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT.
Asanau, a 2016 Olympian from Belarus, is a three-year pro who has taken the fast track to contention after defeating the likes of Andy Cruz and Hector Luis Garcia as an amateur. He signed with Eye of the Tiger last year and made his Canadian debut that August with an eight-round decision over Alexis Gabriel Camejo. Less than three months later, he stopped former featherweight title challenger Matias Rueda in five rounds. Patera (30-5, 11 KOs) last held the European title from 2018-2019 and is 2-1 since a 2023 decision defeat to Keyshawn Davis.
Guerrero (13-0, 8 KOs) has been on a knockout run of late, stopping eight of his last nine opponents. In February, he became the first man to knock out 33-fight veteran Dennis Dauti, stopping him in round four. Quintana (22-3, 16 KOs) has never fought outside of Mexico and is coming off a split decision victory over Chester Parada Torales.
