Undefeated Bute puts title on line

Lucian Bute puts his International Boxing Federation super-middleweight championship on the line tomorrow night at the Bell Centre in the 12-round main event against Librado Andrade.
Bute, undefeated in 22 bouts, including 18 knockouts, has been inactive since last February, when he stopped William Joppy in the 10th round. Bute suffered a knee injury in training shortly thereafter and took time to rehabilitate.
Andrade has only lost once in 28 bouts, recording 21 KOs. He's the top- rated contender by the IBF, and put himself in position to meet Bute with an eighth-round KO of Robert Steiglitz last March.
