[edit] Professional career

On November 13, 2004, L'Heureux challenged Steve McKay (record 5-1) for the vacant Canadian Heavyweight championship in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. After knocking down McKay in the eighth round with a body shot, L'Heureux capitalized on him still being in pain and out of wind to knock him out for good 27 seconds into the ninth round.

However, in his first fight after winning the prestigious title in 2005, L'Heureux was viciously pummeled by American clubfighter Steve Pannell (33-8) to lose his undefeated ring record by TKO at 2:31 of the first round.

He beat undefeated Olympian Art Binkowski on points later that year.

The 6-foot 5-inch tall right-hander suffered his second loss when he was knocked out in the 7th round by David Cadieux on May 12 2006. He lost the rematch on points.

[edit] Football career

L'Heureux is a former football player with the Diablos of Trois-Rivieres in Quebec.
