Gomez vs. Clavel back on for this Friday

Kim Clavel (15-0, 3 KOs) will finally challennge WBC flyweight champion Yesenia Gomez (19-5-3, 6 KOs), now rebooked for Friday, July 29th at the Cabaret of Montreal Casino. Gomez vs. Clavel has been postponed three times, which has naturally increased tensions between the two fighters, based on their social media posts. Gomez will defend her world title belt for the fifth time.
 
Artur "The Chechen Wolf" Biyarslanov (10-0, 8 KOs), will be showcased in the co-feature, against Burkina Faso-native Issouf Kinda (18-5, 7 KOs), fighting out New York. A 2015 Pan American Games gold medalist in Toronto, as well as a Canadian representative at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, Biyarslanov plans to add a third consecutive knockout to his record 
 
Clavel competed in her last international competition in 2017 as a member of Canada's National Team in Honduras. In her first world championship fight on July 29th, she will be surrounded by three boxers who were her teammates at that same time. Biyarslanov, Basran and Veyre also wore Canadian colors at this tournament, additional evidence of the talent level at GYM.
