Kim Clavel (20-2, 3 KOs) is set to square off against Anabel Ortiz (34-7, 4 KOs) in a 10-round main event for the IBF Intercontinental strawweight championship. Slated for February 27 at the elegant Casino de Montréal, the card is fittingly titled “UNSTOPPABLE,” reflecting Clavel’s fervent push to reclaim a world title. Despite having already fought three times in less than 10 months, Clavel remains laser-focused on matching an exclusive club of Quebec fighters - Arturo Gatti and Marie-Eve Dicaire - by winning a world belt for the second time.

The matchup is a serious test. Ortiz, a veteran from Mexico City, boasts stints as both WBC and WBA world champion. Her WBA reign from 2013 to 2021 featured nine successful title defenses, and she’s participated in an impressive 19 championship fights overall. Ortiz’s experience and ring savvy can make life difficult for Clavel, who’s building momentum after three straight wins at Casino de Montréal.

Adding to the stakes, the winner is promised an immediate world title opportunity in her next bout.
