Super middleweight Schiller Hyppolite Cracks world rankings, No. 15 in IBF

PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release MONTREAL (September 10, 2014) - All of his hard work, determination and perseverance is paying off for super middleweight contender Schiller Hyppolite (13-1, 9 KOs), who has cracked the world rankings for the first time at No. 15 in the latest International Boxing Federation (IBF) ratings. In his most recent fight this past August 16, the 28-year-old Hyppolite outclassed Irish super middleweight champion J.J. "Slick" McDonagh (10-3) by way of a unanimous 10-round decision (99-91, 98-92 and 96-94) for his eighth consecutive victory.. United Kingdom's James DeGale is the No. 1-rated 168-pound fighter in the IBF (No. 2 is unrated). Hyppolite, fighting out of Montreal, is the fifth-highest rated North American super middleweight, behind the following Americans: No. 5 Julius Jackson, No. 7 Brandon Gonzales, No. 11 Derek Edwards and No. 14 Rogelio Medina. "Little known to date outside of Quebec," his promoter Camille Estephan (Eye of the Tiger Management) said, "Schiller Hyppolite is an absolutely amazing boxer who is now, in our opinion, a must see fighter. He will soon explode on the international boxing scene. We are pleased that the IBF recognizes him after only 14 professional fights, His skills rank him among the elite in this highly competitive division, which was once dominated by Canadian fighters like Adonis Stevenson, Jean Pascal andLucian Bute." Hyppolite joined several of his EOTTM world-ranked stable-mates: middleweightDavid Lemieux (WBC #2, IBF #5, WBO #8), lightweights Dierry "Dougy Style" Jean (WBC #10, IBF #15) and Ghislain "Mani" Maduma (IBF #8), and welterweightAntonin Decarie (WBC #6), IBF #11 and WBO #12). EOTTM heavyweightBermane "B. Ware" Stiverne is the reigning WBC world champion. A native of Haiti, Hyppolite is following closely in the footsteps of his fellow countrymen such as Stiverne, Jean, Stevenson and Pascal. EOTTM will soon announce plans for Hyppolite's upcoming fights that, hopefully, will elevate his status into a top 5 world rating.

“I am a lot more confident as i have worked with Andre Ward.

He excited about the opportunity to take on the undefeated Courter.

“It’s not important to keep that knockout streak alive.  There will be fighters I know that i won’t get out of there.  I go into a fight expecting to win and if the knockout happens then it does.”
