Cuban super middleweight Osleys Iglesias takes on Petro Ivanov in a twelve-round main event this Thursday, Nov. 7th, at the Casino de Montréal. In the eight-round super middleweight co-feature, former world title challenger Steven Butler will lock horns with Argentina’s Fernando Farias. Promoted by Eye of The Tiger, Iglesias-Ivanov, Butler-Farias, and undercard bouts will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ starting at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT.

 

Iglesias (14-1, 12 KOs including the World Series of Boxing) was a decorated international amateur star before turning pro in September 2019. The southpaw puncher has gone 3-0 with three knockouts in 2024, all within the first two rounds. He registered first-round stoppages over Marcelo Coceres in March and Evgeny Shvedenko in June. In August, he dispatched Sena Agbeko via second-round TKO. Ivanov (18-0-2, 13 KOs), a Ukrainian contender, looks to shake off a one-year layoff following fast-route victories over Gino Kanters and Juan Boada.

 

Butler (34-5-1, 28 KOs) challenged Ryota Murata for the WBA middleweight title in 2019. Following a 2021 loss to Jose de Jesus Macias, he rebounded with four straight wins but fell short in his second title bid against Janibek Alimkhanuly last May. Butler bounced back again with knockout wins over Ivan Alvarez and Steve Rolls before a stoppage loss to Patrice Volny in June. Farias (12-2-3, 4 KOs) heads into this contest following a decision win against countryman Nicolas Andres Falabella in September.
