(Montreal) Trifluvien Simon Kean will face Franco-Algerian Olympian Newfel Ouatah on September 9 at the Cabaret du Casino de Montréal in the semi-finals of the gala which will feature super-middleweights Christian Mbilli and DeAndre Ware
Posted at 11:01 a.m.
Kean (21-1, 20 K.-O.) will return to the ring after having passed the K.-O. to the American Shawndell Winters during his last duel presented behind closed doors in February.
For his 23e career fight, he will face Ouatah (18-4, 10 KOs) in a duel scheduled for 10 rounds. The latter had an impressive career among amateurs, notably being champion of Algeria and France on several occasions, thus allowing him to access the Olympic qualifications for the Algerian team which he then represented in Beijing in 2008 where he ranked 5e in heavyweights.
In addition to his experience, Ouatah will have the physical advantage in this fight since he is taller than Kean.
This gala will also feature Mary Spencer (6-0, 4 K.-O., Luis Santana (6-0, 2 K.-O.), Leïla Beaudoin (6-0, 1 K.-O. ), Avery Martin-Duval (7-0-1, 4 KOs) as well as Christopher Guerrero (3-0).
