MONTREAL (August 29, 2012) -- Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) announced yesterday that its ninth year of operation will commence in a few weeks. The popular GYM Boxing Series, "Fast & Furious," as previously announced, returns this coming season with an improved Version 3.0 to the famed Bell Centre in Montreal.

 

Co-presented once again by Mise-O-Jeu and Videotron, in association with Evenko and the Bell Centre, four "Fast & Dangerous 3.0" events are scheduled, two in the fall and two in 2013, on October 12, December 14, February 8 and May 3.

 

 

International recognition

 

Former World Boxing Council (WBC) light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal (26-2-1, 16 KOs) remains the star of the GYM fighter stable. The goal this year is to position him to become world champion again. As soon as The Ring Magazine's No. 2 ranked contender is fully recovered from a hand injury and he has resumed training, his date to return to the ring will be determined. "Fast & Dangerous 3.0" is designed to allow International Boxing Federation (IBF) No. 2 rated super middleweight Adonis "Superman" Stevenson (18-1, 15 KOs), WBC International and WBC No. 8 ranked welterweight Antonin Decarie (26-1, 7 KOs), undefeated North American Boxing Association (NABA) champion Kevin Bizier (17-0, 12 KOs), unbeaten North American Boxing Organization (NABO) light heavyweight titlist Eleider "Storm" Alvarez (9-0, 5 KOs) to strengthen their positions among the top contenders in their respective division until they get world title shots; re-launch middleweight knockout artist David Lemieux on the international scene, and provide invaluable experience for undefeated Colombian heavyweights, now living in Montreal, Didier "Big Daddy" Bence (5-0, 2 KOs) and 2008 Olympian Oscar Rivas (11-0, 6 KOs). Other boxers will have opportunities to be showcased in this series, thanks to GYM's close collaboration with Hennessy Sports Canada, Eye of the Tiger Management and Boxing Club East.

 

New for 2012-2013

 

New ticket prices and venue configuration, plus fights for worthy causes.

 

Configuration

The venue configuration this year will encourage a more welcoming atmosphere, while the central placement of the ring will allow visual access on the Jumbotron screens, either standing or ringside, for all seats. VIP seating sections "Ringside" are available with the tables added last season.

 

 

Season tickets starting at $144

 

As in the past, the public has the option to purchase season tickets for four events at the Bell Centre, while enjoying a discount on the regular ticket price. This year ticket prices have been cut by more than 50-percent: $40.50, $70.50 and $110.50 in the stands. The discount also allows fans to now purchase a season ticket for the modest sum of $144 for all four events in the red section, an average of $36 per ticket.

That Season Ticket isn't a bad idea, more promoters should be doing things like that.
