I caught up with Joachim Alcine "Canada's WBA Light Middleweight Champion" at the Grant Brothers Gym in Quebec. I interviewed Joachim and found him to be a very interesting and well grounded champion. His upbeat attitude and genuine confidence in himself and the people around him is infectious. I had the opportunity to watch Joachim spar with our Tony Luis from Cornwall, ON for 10 rounds. As I am writing this article, Tony Luis has just this weekend won the Ontario Golden Gloves Championship in his division.

Joachim Alcine will be fighting Alfonso Mosquera on Dec 7th 2007 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec defending his WBA Light Middleweight Championship.
