Two weeks ago, Spencer won the interim WBA super welterweight title, and last Saturday, Kamara retained the WBA light heavyweight gold belt.
This Saturday, Fury (7-0) will face Joanna Chavarria Lopez (6-5-1, 2 KOs) in Naucalpan, Mexico, for the WBA International Featherweight (126 lbs) title.
“It shows all the talent that exists in boxing in Quebec right now, and it’s good to have the opportunity to showcase ourselves on the world stage,” Ferry said during a video conference on Wednesday.

This will be the Quebec boxer's first opportunity to compete for the title.
“For me, it's a fight I've really been waiting for so I can step up and move forward in my career, I've wanted to fight for the title for a really long time.”
Chavarria Lopez doesn't have a great record, but Veyre believes that doesn't tell the whole story on this matter.
“I've had a few fights in Mexico that aren't listed. She's a girl who comes forward, puts a lot of pressure, and throws a lot of punches when the opponent is on the edge, so I have to be very mobile.”

Veyre, who has worked with Daniel Bouchard and Stephane Laroche in the past, headed to Las Vegas earlier this year to add strings to his bow.
“I felt like I needed to push my boundaries a little bit more, I was in a very big comfort zone and I needed to do some things The debate With the professionals and that helped me a lot.”
She works specifically with trainer Fleck Emanuel Jr. who pushes her to her limits.
“The training here is very hard and it confirms that I made the right choice. The first two weeks in Vegas, my body was in shock, I couldn’t move. I came out of training crying, I didn’t think I could reach this level.
“Every time I push my limits, I'm able to do things I didn't even think I was capable of.”
Thus, he competed in twelve rounds of training in the morning and did another six rounds in the afternoon.
“I wasn’t even tired. I’m impressing myself. I couldn’t be in better shape, I’ve done ten rounds, and I can go into this fight calmly and confidently.
That's a good thing because all of her professional fights have reached the limit and she will compete in her first ten-round bout on Saturday.
