Adonis “Superman” Stevenson (24-1, 20 KOs) returns to the ring December 19 at Pepsi Coliseum in Quebec to face Russian challenger Dmitry “The Hunter” Sukhotskiy (22-2, 16 KOs).
“THE REIGN OF SUPERMAN,” featuring the world light heavyweight championship between Stevenson and Sukhotskiy, is presented by Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM). For the second time in a row Stevenson will headline on Showtime Championship Boxing.
Ttwo-time Russian Olympian sensation Artur Beterbiev (6-0, 6 KOs), as well as dangerous welterweight Kevin Bizier (26-1, 16 KOs) will also be in action.
Two press conferences will be held next Wednesday, Nov. 5, in the morning in Quebec City and Montreal in the afternoon. All details will be announced then.

Stevenson has been the forgotten man as of late. Bernard Hopkins and Sergey Kovalev are squaring off in the wake of Stevenson’s departure to Showtime, and perceived avoidance of Kovalev. Now, he says he wants the Hopkins-Kovalev winner, although that’s anybody’s guess as to whether or not it comes together.
Meanwhile, he looked less than sensational against Andrzej Fonfara, who’s actually beating him back to the airwaves, in action this weekend. Sukhotsky is far from a big-name opponent, so Stevenson is apparently content just biding his time.
