According to sources in InterBox, hot junior welterweight prospect Pier Olivier Cote (18-0, 12KOs) is a likely candidate to appear on the Lucian Bute-Carl Froch undercard. The anticipated super middleweight clash between Bute and Froch takes place on May 26th at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham. Cote was scheduled to face Mauricio Herrera on February 3rd on Shotime, but he fell ill a few weeks before the fight and withdrew. Last year Cote scored four wins, including a very impressive two-round knockout of Jorge Luis Teron on Showtime.
