Pier-Olivier Côté (born May 30, 1984) is an undefeated Canadian professional boxer in the Super Lightweight division.[2] Cote was born in Cali, Colombia, but at 18-months-old was adopted by Réjean Côté and Christiane Pleau (his parents) of Charlesbourg, Quebec and grew up in the Quebec City suburb.[3]

Amateur career

He started boxing at 20 and was Canadian amateur champion within two years. He turned pro in 2008 and has impressed many with his devastating right hand shots.[3]

Professional career

Super Lightweight

Côté needed only two minutes and fifty seconds to send Michael Lozada to the canvas three times and win his fight at the Bell Centre on March 19, 2011. He was the co-feature of Lucian Bute's defence of his IBF Super-middleweight title against Brian Magee of Ireland.[3]

On Feb 27, 2010 Cote made his U.S debut when took on Willshaun Boxley in Augusta, Georgia. On May 7, 2011 Cote made his second U.S debut when took on Aris Ambriz in the opening bout of the Showtime coverage of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley event. Cote dominated Ambriz on all rounds. Cote wasn't able to finish the fight in round three but as Cote continued to land in the fourth it led to Weeks jumping in and calling a halt to the bout.[4]
