LIGHT/JUNIOR FLYWEIGHT (108 lbs - 48.99 kg)
WBA: Kenshiro Teraji
WBC: Kenshiro Teraji
IBF: Adrian Curiel def Sivenathi Nontshinga
WBO: Jonathan Gonzalez
The Ring: Hiroto Kyoguchi
Adrian Curiel pulled off a huge upset against Sivenathi Nontshinga on Saturday night with a knockout win.
The pair clashed as Nontshinga looked to defend his IBF light-flyweight title in a routine defence in Monte Carlo, but Curiel had other plans. The 24-year-old South African had to relinquish his world title at the hands of Curiel.
In the second round of the fight, Curiel launched an overhand right that caught Nontshinga right on the chin.
The champion immediately collapsed and fell through the ropes, lying on his back on the canvas unconscious.
This comes despite the fact that Nontshinga was a 1/8 favourite going into the contest.
And the Mexican Curiel had four previous defeats on his record, while Nontshinga was unbeaten.
"It's an absolute dream for me this victory," Curiel said via translation after the fight.
"It's super important for me and my family, it's a victory for Mexico... I spoke to my mother and I said to her, no one's going to beat me tonight."
