Evander Holyfield's The Real Deal Sports and Entertainment and Lee Baxter Promotions in association with Louisville Top Knotch and the World Boxing Council, are proud to announce that the semi-final round of The Jose Sulaiman WBC World Invitational Tournament will now take place at Toronto's famed lakeside amphitheater, Budweiser Stage and tickets starting at $40 are on sale today at www.ticketmaster.ca and www.therealdealboxing.com

The gorgeous venue located on the banks of Lake Ontario which was voted "one of the best concerts venues in North America", has played host to the world's most popular musical acts since it's opening in 1995 and now will hold it's first boxing event in what will be one of the biggest cards to take place this summer in all of Canada on Saturday, August 25th.

Budweiser Stage (formerly Molson Ampitheatre) received international attention last year when it was the location for one of the dates on the press tour for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight. For the Jose Sulaiman WBC World Invitational Tournament the venue will have a similar set up with on stage ringside seating as well as covered amphitheater and outdoor lawn seating to create an end of summer fight party.

"From the media coverage of Holyfield's visit last week, officially announcing that the WBC tournament is coming to Toronto, to the buzz on social media from Canadian boxing fans, we knew it was the right move to take the event to a special venue like the Budweiser Stage.", explains co-promoter, Lee Baxter, president of Toronto based, Lee Baxter Promotions.

"In addition to the tournament's semi-final fights, I plan on this being one of the best undercards I have matched in my entire promotional career. We are putting together a who's who of Canadian fighters from prospects to contenders and putting them in competitive fights on the biggest stage of the career. We also have several events scheduled as well for the week of the fight to build up excitement in the city. This truly will be the boxing event of the summer in Canada, and, as the first boxing event to take place at such a legendary concert venue, it also be a historic night in Toronto boxing history."

As 4-time heavyweight champion of the world, Evander Holyfield adds, "Visiting Toronto last week for the kick off press conference made it clear to us that the city is becoming a boxing hotbed. I was blown away by the interest and excitement the event is receiving from fans and the media in Canada. We're also happy to work with such a forward thinking commission that will be honoring many of the new initiatives that we set for the tournament and are trying to bring to sport beyond this event. August 25th will be The Real Deal Boxing’s biggest show yet and together with our friends at Lee Baxter Promotions, we promise to provide an action packed night at a truly incredible venue."
