Professional career
editSuper Lightweight
editCôté needed only two minutes and fifty seconds to send Michael Lozada to the canvas three times and win his fight at the Bell Centre on March 19, 2011. He was the co-feature of Lucian Bute's defence of his IBF Super-middleweight title against Brian Magee of Ireland.
On Feb 27, 2010 Cote made his U.S debut when took on Willshaun Boxley in Augusta, Georgia. On May 7, 2011 Cote made his second U.S appearance when took on Aris Ambriz in the opening bout of the Showtime coverage of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley event. Cote dominated Ambriz in all rounds. Cote wasn't able to finish the fight in round three but as Cote continued to land punches in the fourth it led to the referee jumping in and calling a halt to the bout.[2]
His next scheduled fight was postponed due to illness.[3] He has been inactive since.
