The 30-year-old super middleweight from Montreal, Canada is heading to warmer environs – the Dominican Republic, to be exact – after scoring a ninth-round knockout of determined underdog Stephane Fondjo. It was a closet classic of a fight, where Butler scored early knockdowns, only for Fondjo to stage a mid-fight comeback before Butler closed the show with his right-hand power, treating fans at Casino de Montreal to an exciting shootout.
