Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) announced Thursday that it is postponing to February 24 the gala it was to hold on January 29 behind closed doors at the Cabaret du Casino de Montréal due to the “pandemic situation”.

“The current conditions do not meet our standards required to ensure safe participation for all,” GYM justified in a press release, explaining in particular that the preparation of the organization’s boxers is disrupted.

The gala, which will be presented at the same place on February 24, should allow Marie-Pier Houle (4-0-1, 2 K.-O.) to get back into the ring for the first time since her fight which cost the life to his opponent Jeanette Zacarias Zapata, on August 28.

This time she will face Yamila Esther Reynoso (12-9-3, 8 KOs), from Argentina. Aged 25, Yamila Esther Reynoso has already fought three world championship fights and lost by decision against Chris Namus (IBF), Erica Farias (WBC) and Amanda Serrano (WBO). Note that she also lost a decision against our IBF champion Marie-Eve Dicaire in 2017.

Mazlum Akdeniz (15-0, 8 KOs) must put his perfect record into play against the Mexican Erick Encinia (14-5-1, 5 KOs).

Lennox LEWIS: “Still trying to get used to Usyk. This won’t work”

Legendary British boxer Lennox Lewis He expressed his opinion that Anthony Joshua is ready for a possible fight with Tyson Fury. The former absolute world champion believes Joshua should have another interim fight before such a mega fight.

“Did Joshua show off enough to beat Fury? With a performance like that, no. It won’t work against Tyson. But at least he got into a rhythm. This was his first fight with a new team, he’s still getting used to Usyk and his team,” Lewis explained.

A big boxing show took place in Miami, USA, on the night of December 19-20, 2025. In the main fight, American entertainer Jake Paul and former world champion Anthony Joshua entered the ring. The fight ended in the sixth round – AJ brutally knocked out his opponent.

Eddie Hearnsupporter Anthony JoshuaHe shared the British boxer’s plans for the near future.

“We are acting according to Turki Al El-Sheikh’s strategy. Joshua plans to fight in February or March and then hopefully fight Tyson Fury.”

The next fight was originally scheduled for February 14, but with the date only seven weeks away, it is important to evaluate Anthony’s fitness. Hearn explained that there are actually seven weeks left now: “The fight could be moved to mid or late March if necessary.”

“Rico Verhoeven? This name has been mentioned a few times before. We are considering various options. We need a fight that will prepare us to face Tyson Fury and the way he fights. There are enough offers right now,” Hearn added.

Let us remind you that Joshua previously won by knocking out Jake Paul in the sixth round.

Additionally, Verhoeven had previously officially vacated the Glory heavyweight championship belt.

Derek CHISORA: “He didn’t want to fight. I’ll suck your strength, I’ll knock you down”

british boxer Derek Chisora He shared his assessment of the knockout that ended Anthony Joshua’s fight against Jake Paul.

“This should have happened a long time ago. Joshua did what he had to do. Forget everything else. I was among those who said that if the fight dragged on there would be questions. But the ring was too big. Jake didn’t want to fight – he tried to fight. Joshua said everything right: I’m going to suck your strength and then I’m going to knock you out… He broke his jaw,” Chisora said.
