Lucian Bute sera sur la touche pour une période de six semaines en raison d'une blessure à une jambe.

Le champion du monde des super-moyens de l'IBF a rencontré l'orthopédiste Jacques Toueg, lundi après-midi, et ce dernier qu'il l'a contraint à cette période d'inactivité.

Bute prendra le chemin de la Roumanie ce week-end afin de supporter son compatriote Adrian Diaconu qui affrontera Chris Henry, le 19 avril prochain.

MONTREAL (Ticker) - IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute on Monday was diagnosed with a leg injury that will sideline him for six weeks.
The diagnosis was made by Dr. Jacques Toueg after Bute, who trains out of Montreal, complained of severe pain in his leg. The specifics of the injury were not disclosed.
“This is the type of injury where an athlete could cut his season short, or even end it,” Toueg said. “It is very risky to fight in such a state. A mandatory rest period is a necessity.”
Bute (22-0, 18 KOs) last fought on October 19, 2007 when he took the IBF super middleweight title from Alejandro Berrio with an 11th-round TKO.

 

Big blow, Maxime...sad times for Bute...but at least it shouldn't interfere with his mandatory defence.

 

Yeah...:good

 

I found this great Canadian boxing site:

It has long interviews about Bute, with Larouche, etc.

Thanks for not telling me about this site, Maxime!
