Lucian Bute, boxing live on Radio România Actualităţi

The boxing match between the Romanian Lucian Bute and the Irish Brian McGee, that will take place on 19 March, 2011, at Montreal, Canada, will be broadcast live on the Radio România Actualităţi.

While attending the contest, Adrian Fetecău, Radio România Actualităţi correspondent, will broadcast interviews with both boxers, not only from the official press conference and the weigh-in but also from the backstage, before and after the game.

It has already become a tradition for Radio România Actualităţ to support fighters and to broadcast their contests, most of which transmitted for Romania exclusively.
So far, Radio România Actualităţi has broadcast fifteen contests; the competitions of Lucian Bute, of Jojo Dan and of Adrian Diaconu have been genuinely reported to the Romanian audience.

On 19 March, Lucian Bute will defend his belt for the seventh time in a match that will take place at Bell Centre in Montreal.

Lucian Bute, who won twenty seven matches, out of which twenty two by knockout, will fight for the third time a professional European boxer, after having fought Russian Serghei Tatevosian and Danish Lolenga Mock.

On 19 October, 2007, Lucian Bute won the IBF world championship after having defeated the Colombian Alejandro Berrio.

Since then, the Romanian fighter has managed to defend his belt successfully for six times.

In early November, 2010, Bute signed a contract with the Showtime American television channel, for more matches.

Brian McGee, thirty five, had a thirty eight fight career and managed to win thirty four matches (out of which twenty four by knock-out), lost three times and finished tied once.

The boxing match in which Lucian Bute will defend his diamonded belt will be broadcast live on Sunday, 20 March, at 5:30 A.M., not only by the Radio România Actualităţi, but also on the www.românia-actualităţi.ro site.
