Atlantic City welterweight contender Shamone “The Truth” Alvarez will journey north to battle Antonin Decarie (24-1, 7 KO) in the Canadian’s hometown of Montreal on February 11. The scheduled 10 round bout is part of a card that will be nationally televised in the US as part of ESPN’s Friday Night Fight Series. The Bell Centre, which consistently provides an electric atmosphere on fight night, will serve as as the venue.
Alvarez (21-3, 12 KO) is looking to rebound from a ten round majority decision loss to Ayi Bruce at Bally’s earlier this month. With a win on national TV, he figures to get back in the thick of the crowded welterweight division.
