Quebec boxer Simon Kean will face Italian Guido Vianello in a heavyweight bout scheduled for 10 rounds, in the semi-finals of the August 19 gala at the Videotron Center in Quebec City.

34 years old and from Trois-Rivières, Kean will try to sign a 24th victory in 25 professional fights. Of his 23 wins so far, 22 have come before the limit.

This was particularly the case during his last outing, on March 23 at the Casino de Montreal, when he defeated the American Eric Molina in the seventh round.

Vianello is 29 years old and has 10 victories in 11 duels, including nine by knockout.

The main duel of this Eye of the Tiger Management boxing evening will feature light heavyweight Artur Beterbiev, unified WBC, IBF and WBO world champion, against Briton Callum Smith.
