World Boxing Council light heavyweight champion Adonis “Superman” Stevenson (24-1, 20 KOs), of Montreal, is planning to make it an early night when he faces top ten contender Dmitry "The Hunter" Sukhotskiy (22-2, 16 KOs) of Russia on December 19th from the Pepsi Coliseum in Quebec City.

Stevenson's title defense will headline a Showtime televised quadrupleheader event. IN  his last fight, back in May, Stevenson was dropped and had to settle for a twelve round decision victory over Andrzej Fonfara. This time he wants to make sure the fight ends early.

“Everybody brings their A-game because I’m the champ," Stevenson said. “I know I’m the king of the light heavyweight division and I know that everyone wants to take my belt. I’m going to train very hard. Sukhotskiy is a tough guy and he’s hoping to surprise me. I’ll prepare, my hands will be perfect and it will be a short night on Showtime.”
