A source with knowledge of the details has advised BoxingScene.com that Golden Boy Promotions has reached an agreement in principle with dangerous middleweight contender David Lemieux (33-2, 31 KOs).
BoxingScene.com had reported on Friday that Lemieux was officially a free agent after his promotional contract had come to end with longtime promoter Yvon Michel of GYM.
Lemieux has not signed an actual contract as of yet, but the documents are in the process of being drafted and he is expected to sign.
He made his HBO debut last month with a vicious beating of Gabe Rosado at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Golden Boy was the lead promoter of the show and company President Oscar De La Hoya was very vocal about his desire to continue working with Lemieux in the future.
Good signing.
