Undefeated International Boxing Federation (IBF) Super Middleweight Champion Lucian Bute (29-0, 24 KO) will put his IBF world champion belt on the line, when he makes the ninth defense of his 168-pound title against former world light heavyweight champion Glen "The Road Warrior" Johnson (51-15-2, 35 KOs) on Saturday, Nov. 5, 2011 and will be televised live on SHOWTIME (9 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast) , from Pepsi Coliseum in Quebec City, Canada.

Lucian Bute Boxing Lines

Lucian Bute, will be making his ninth title defense, when he faces off with former light heavyweight champion Glen Johnson and will be fighting in Quebec City for the third time in his career. The immensely popular Bute, who draws the biggest boxing crowds in all of Canada, has won six consecutive fights inside the distance and has been IBF champ since 2007.

Now Bute, 31, returns to his adopted home of Canada, after a fourth-round knockout over previously unbeaten, No. 1-ranked Jean Paul Mendy last July 9 in Romania, with a crushing 4th round knock-out that left him motionless on the canvas. 8 of Lucian's last 10 failed to hear the final bell. A victory for Bute, will probably guarantee him a fight with the showtime supermiddleweight winner either Carl Froch or Andre Ward.

Glen Johnson Boxing Odds

The remarkable Johnson, 42, of Miami, Fla., is an 18-year veteran known for always giving his absolute best and fighting in an opponent's backyard. Johnson dropped a competitive 12-round majority decision to Froch in a terrific Super Six World Boxing Classic Semifinal matchup in his most recent outing last June 4 on SHOWTIME. Johnson landed his fair share of hard shots but Froch retaliated with brutal combos each time to win by the scores of 117-111, 116-112 and 114-114.

Despite being the challenger, Johnson's resume boasts a far more impressive roster of opponents than Bute's. The always-game Johnson has been in the ring with Bernard Hopkins, Tavoris Cloud, Chad Dawson and owns victories over future Hall of Famers, Roy Jones Jr. and Antonio Tarver. The Jamaican-born Johnson has fought out of Miami for almost two decades and this will make his 10th appearance in a world title fight. This bout promises to have fireworks as Johnson is a warrior who does not take a step back and has faced the top fighters in the sport.

The undercard will likely feature local super middleweight veteran Renan St-Juste (23-2-1, 15 KO) and junior welterweight prospect Pier Olivier Cote (17-0, 11 KO) .
