The Montreal fighter had already established control in the opening round, pressing forward and landing the heavier punches as Hiseni struggled to match Butler’s pace. The finish came quickly in the second as Butler landed cleanly with the hook to the chin, leaving Hiseni unable to continue.
The win adds a regional belt to Butler’s resume as he looks to rebuild his position at super middleweight. Butler has previously fought at a higher level in the division, including world title opportunities earlier in his career, and the win gives the Montreal fighter another step toward re-entering the conversation for bigger fights.
The event took place at the Montreal Casino and was promoted by Camille Estephan’s Eye of the Tiger Management.
