Canadian Super Middleweight Champion John-Michael Bianco to make first title defense
HAMILTON, Ontario, Canada (February 10, 2025) – The next generation of Ontario boxers will be showcased March 29th on an event presented by Three Lions Promotion at Collective Arts Centre in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Canadian Super Middleweight Champion John-Michael “J-Money” Bianco (8-1, 4 KOs), of Mississauga, Ontario, will make his first title defense of the crown he captured September 30, 2023, when he stopped Samuel Moses (7-0, 6 KOs) in the seventh round.
A celebrated Canadian amateur boxer, the 31-year-old Bianco faces Brett Beaton (6-2, 4 KOs), fighting out of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia), in the eight-round main event.
“It’s great to see two Canadians competing for their country’s hardware,” promoter Daniel Otter (Three Lions Promotions) said. “It’s a great fight and may the better man win.”
Two of Canada’s leading prospects, middleweight Triston Brookes (9-0, 9 KOs) and lightweight Eric Basran (7-0, 3 KOs), will also be in action. Both will fight opponents to be determined in six-round matches.
Brookes, 31, has stopped each of his nine opponents as a pro. Also fighting out of Mississauga, Brookes was an outstanding amateur who won a gold medal at the 2019 Canadian Amateur Championships, in addition to securing silver medals at the 2018 Ontario Silver Gloves and Ontario Golden Gloves.
The 26-year-old Basran, who lived in Surrey, British Columbia, was a bronze medalist in the 2018 Gold Coast Tournament who represented Canada in the prestigious AIBA World Championships in Ekaterinburg, Russia.
Also fighting on the undercard in six-round matches are Mexican lightweight Meillyn “Cachis” Martinez (3-0, 1 KO), a two-time national amateur champion now living in Toronto, versus Silvia Duran (4-3, 3 KOs), while welterweight Dylan Taylor (3-0, 2 KOs) squares off against Dylan Rushton (3-14).
The card is subject to change.
“It’s the next generation of our fighters for this March 29th card,” Otter added. “We have a great, growing stable of fighters. They’re looking to break out on the global boxing stage and contend for world titles in the very near future.”
Tickets will soon go on sale.
Doors open at 6 pm ET with the first bout at 7 pm ET.
For fans who are unable to attend the show, it’ll be available to watch on pay-per-view via 3LPTV.
