Rising Canadian-based super middleweight Moreno Fendero had been looking forward to returning home to Besançon, in the east of France, for a summer vacation.

However when presented with the opportunity for a fourth fight already this year, he was only too happy to put those plans on hold. He'll face Billi Godoy (41-8, 20 KOs) on the Christian Mbilli-Maciej Sulecki undercard in Quebec City this weekend.

Mbilli vs. Sulecki, plus undercard bouts, will broadcast on ESPN+ on Friday (6 p.m. ET) .

"That was the plan at the beginning, but after my last fight I didn't have the opposition that we expected and I asked [promoter] Camille [Estephan] and [trainer] Marc [Ramsay] and they said, 'Yes,'" Fendero told The Ring through Noe Cloutier.

"It will finally be time to go back home after this fight, after nine months working non-stop here."

In 2025, the 26-year-old southpaw has stopped his three opponents all inside three rounds as he readies for bigger things in the not-too-distant future.

"I am very happy with my year, very happy with the activity too," he said. "It might be a transition year for me because I am really looking to get my first belt in 2026."

Next up, will be wily Argentine veteran Godoy, who is no stranger to Canadian shores having shared a ring with one of Fendero's stablemates.

"Godoy did three rounds with [Erik] Bazinyan in his last fight. I will have a surprise for boxing experts and how people will judge if I do [score a knockout win] faster than Bazinyan," he said. "It's not the main goal, I am always stepping in the ring to follow the game plan, and the knockout seems to arrive by themselves if I do that.

"It's a good step-up fight where I'm happy to do rounds, but a knockout might happen if I follow the game plan as usual."

Ramsay, who also trains former Ring and undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev (21-1, 20 KOs) and top super middleweight contender in Mbilli (28-0, 23 KOs), feels Fendero (11-0, 9 KOs) is always improving, doubtlessly aided by being around those top fighters.

"Training a boxer like Moreno is the dream of every coach, serious, disciplined, and hard-working," said Ramsay. "He has shown a beautiful evolution since his first fight and this is just the beginning, and the fact of training every day with Christian motivates him to the highest level."

Godoy turned professional in 2007. On his way up, he claimed the Argentine national title after an unexpected two-fight series with Claudio Ariel Abalos in 2011.

Rounding out that year with a first-round finish of Luciano Silva, he outpointed faded compatriot Carlos Baldomir and Jorge Sebastian Heiland in 2012 before losing for the first time in an eight-round split decision upset by journeyman Sergio Jorge Sanders.

Soon, his form became patchy as he began losing more frequently and Heiland avenged defeat with a 12th-round knockout in their rematch. He gave a good account of himself during a losing effort against longtime world-level middleweight contender John Ryder, who stopped him in 10 rounds. The 38-year-old returned with four wins in Argentina but lost on the road in Namibia, Chile and later in Germany to future IBF titlist Vincenzo Gaultieri (UD 12). The veteran won three straight before Bazinyan's third-round TKO at his expense.
