Alexandre Gaumont Will Fight Ramadan Hiseni On December 11th; Imam Khataev Will Co-feature

Press Release:

The Outaouais region will be treated to the best of local and international boxing on December 11, as EOTTM returns to Casino Lac-Leamy to close out the year with a bang. Headlining the event, Buckingham's pride Alexandre Gaumont will face Ramadan Hiseni, while Olympic medalist and top-10 light heavyweight contender Imam Khataev will fight in the co-main event. Also making big comebacks in Gatineau: Simon Kean and former world champion Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse!

Nicknamed “King Cogne” for his impressive punching power, Alexandre Gaumont (13-0, 9 KOs) will be making his second appearance of the year. Last April, he scored the KO of the night by stopping French champion Mathis Lourenco in the 4th round. It will also be his second main event at Casino Lac-Leamy, having knocked out Uruguayan champion Andres Viera in round 2 last October.

However, Swiss contender Ramadan Hiseni (21-2-2, 8 KOs) represents the toughest opponent of Gaumont’s pro career. Last year, he came to Quebec and surprised fans by earning a draw against former EOTTM prospect Shamil Khataev. Having won his last two fights, Hiseni also promises to be in the best shape of his life, fresh from a training camp in Germany with none other than Osleys "El Tornado" Iglesias.

In the co-main event, world top-10 contender and Olympic medalist Imam Khataev (10-1, 9 KOs) returns to Quebec after three international appearances—in the U.S., Australia, and Russia. Last July, he wowed thousands of fans and tens of thousands of viewers in New York, when, on a Ring Magazine card, he became the first to knock down former world champion David Morrell Jr., before narrowly losing via a highly controversial split decision.

Other Eye of the Tiger rising stars Avery Martin Duval (14-0-1, 8 KOs) and Thomas Chabot (11-0, 8 KOs) will also be in action on December 11. Adding to the night’s excitement, former heavyweight world champion Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse (7-2, 2 KOs) will return to the ring for the first time since July 2024. Also returning: Mauricie’s "Grizzly" Simon Kean (23-2, 22 KOs), stepping into the ring after over two years of absence.
