After MVP’s Montreal card – when’s the next bout on Canadian soil?

Boxing fans in Canada naturally always keep one eye on the global scene, but the real excitement comes when fighters cross the border to step into the ring on Canadian soil. So, when’s the next card for Canadian boxing? Below, we examine the fights that have taken place and those scheduled for the coming months.

Canadian boxing – schedule of Late

Over the decades, Canada has hosted a fair share of high-profile boxing events. Montreal, Toronto, and other major cities have served as stages for world title fights, Olympic-era standouts, and domestic rivalries. Female boxing has also had moments under the lights, often in Montreal’s casino venues or Toronto’s arenas.

One recent example is Mary Spencer, who successfully defended her WBA super-welterweight title in Montreal on April 10, 2025, defeating Ogleidis Suarez. She is booked to defend her crown against Mikaea Mayer in Montreal on October 30, 2025.

Another Canadian name to watch is Tammara Thibeault, a two-time Olympian. She recently returned to action on the MVP card in Montreal, stopping Cristina Mazzotta in the first round of their scheduled six-rounder.

On the men’s side, Erik Bazinyan vs. Steven “Bang Bang” Butler has become something of a local saga. Originally scheduled earlier, that fight was postponed multiple times. The latest announcement suggests the bout will go ahead on November 13, 2025, in Montreal.

At the grassroots level across Canada, the provincial boxing associations are active. For example, Boxing Ontario lists numerous club-level events scheduled for early October 2025 in towns like Oakville, Scarborough, Guelph, and Hamilton. 

Similarly, Boxing Alberta schedules “club cards” such as the “October Massacre” in Calgary and “King of the Jungle” in Edmonton. These smaller shows are critical for developing domestic talent and keeping boxing alive.

What’s Next

• Mary Spencer vs. Mikaela Mayer — October 30, 2025 (Montreal)
• Erik Bazinyan vs. Steven Butler—November 13, 2025 (Montreal)

These upcoming fights, especially in Quebec, suggest a deliberate attempt by promoters to maintain high-level action in Canada.

Canadian boxing – regional & club events

Beyond marquee matchups, local and regional shows will continue throughout the country.

In Alberta, the schedule includes the October Massacre tournament in Calgary and King of the Jungle in Edmonton, both scheduled for October and November 2025.

These events may not attract national headlines, but they are vital for developing fighters, building local audiences, and keeping the sport’s grassroots alive.

What about ‘big’ international draws?

At the moment, there’s no confirmed mega-card scheduled publicly for Canadian boxing beyond the Spencer and Bazinyan fights. However, boxing calendars are notoriously fluid. International promoters often test markets like Canada, especially in Montreal or Toronto, which have dedicated boxing audiences.

Also, betting interest often follows confirmed marquee bouts. Popular sports betting operators will begin drawing in fans as soon as matchups are announced, as they look to see which fighter is tipped to win early.

Conclusion

The Canadian boxing scene remains vibrant, with world title clashes and grassroots cards ensuring fans have plenty to look forward to. From Montreal’s headline fights to regional showcases, Canadian soil continues to provide thrilling action that highlights the country’s enduring passion.
