Erik Bazinyan (32-0, 23 KOs) is set to defend his NABF super middleweight title against Shakeel Phinn (26-3-1, 17 KOs) in a highly anticipated bout at the Casino de Montreal, Montreal, Canada.

Bazinyan, the 28-year-old titleholder from Laval, Quebec, returns to the venue of his recent triumph, where he secured a third-round stoppage victory over Billi Facundo Godoy in January. This upcoming fight marks his seventh title defense, showcasing his dominance in the 168-pound category. Despite the longstanding acquaintance with Phinn, Bazinyan emphasized the professional nature of their upcoming encounter, stating, “in the ring, there’s no friendship anymore.”

On the other side, 33-year-old Shakeel Phinn, hailing from Brossard, Quebec, enters the ring on a five-fight winning streak, including a notable first-round knockout of Rafael Sosa Pintos last October. Phinn expressed his focus on the professional aspect of their bout, looking forward to the opportunity to claim the title and celebrate with the words “And new…”.

In the undercard, Avery Martin Duval (10-0-1, 6 KOs), a 22-year-old prospect who turned professional in June 2019, has achieved a record of 4-0 with three knockouts before encountering a split draw against Esteban Hernandez Arroyo in December 2020. He successfully avenged that draw by securing a victory in their rematch via a four-round decision in August. Since then, Duval has been out of the ring following his win over Andres Sanchez Ramirez via a third-round TKO last June. On the other hand, Ezequiel Palaversic (8-2-1, 4 KOs) is aiming to recover from a split draw with Alexander Gustavo Dominguez from the same event in December.

Other upcoming streaming matches from Montreal include: Thomas Chabot versus Alfredo Espino, scheduled for 8 rounds in the Junior Lightweights; Jhon Orobio facing Alexis Gabriel Camejo in a 6-round Lightweight match; Alexandre Gaumont against Abdallah Luanja, also over 6 rounds in the Middleweights; and Moreno Fendero versus Nicolas Palacios, another 6-round Middleweight bout.
