Any news on Pier Olivier Cote "APU"

Last I heard he had an undisclosed illness that left him very fatigued. I really don't know if it was ever announced what he had.

 

I enjoyed his fights and always wondered why he wasn't getting more exposure. He better hurry up because he's not getting any younger.

 

His sickness made his body overheat. His career is probably over.

 

you can see him th corner of some interboxe fighter he is fat now its over for him imo

 

This is a shame.

 

What I heard is he accepted to fight in a weight category thinking that Interbox wouldn't take him otherwise, but he was struggling at that weight and it was making him sick. Then I think he overtrained, he fell sick and burned out, and ever since he got sick he hasn't been able to train because he is always tired. He has a family and he needs to provide for them, so he works and he doesn't have time to go back to the gym.

I like the guy, but I don't think he'll fight again.

 

I recall a Canadian poster saying that Cote was suffering from mental issues and that was the reason for his inactivity. This was around the time he was scheduled to fight Ali Chebah in the co-feature to Brute-Grachev.

But who knows, I'd like to see some information from a reputable source to find out exactly what happened with him. Dude was really fun to watch.

 

Very unfortunate indeed.

I am from Quebec city and he said it himself in the local news that he has some sort of disease that makes his body overheat.

 

thinking of this kid the other night by fu ck i could not remember his name
the kid got skills for sure

 

It's a shame.

Probably his career is over. Hopefully Pier Olivier can earn good money elsewhere, he was a spectacular prospect.

 

He is very fat now. I barely recognized him. Côté was a serious prospect. He began boxing very late and had tons of talent. It's over now. First, they were saying he overtrained but he seems to have a strange and rare illness. He was the future of Quebec boxing (I've always put him before Lemieux). Damn.

 

Really sad...He was one of my favorite prospects...I heard he also said he had digestive problems...I personally know it could be very problematic since I have digestive problems for years and it drains a huge part of your energy...
