Osleys Iglesias

Osleys Iglesias is one of the world's top super middleweight boxers. Born in Cuba on December 14, 1997, the 6'2" (189 cm) southpaw has compiled an impressive professional record with a staggering 92% knockout ratio. His current average fight duration is just over three rounds, reflecting his reputation as a devastating finisher. Iglesias turned professional in September 2019 and has fought predominantly in Canada, where he has built a reputation for explosive performances and a relentless, aggressive style.

Iglesias's recent run has seen him dispatch a series of credible opponents in a dominant fashion. In 2024, he stopped Evgeny Shvedenko in one round, Marcelo Esteban Coceres in one round, Sena Agbeko in two rounds, and then-unbeaten Petro Ivanov in five rounds, the latter of which took place at the Montreal Casino in November 2024. These victories have solidified his standing as a mandatory challenger and a potential future opponent for the undisputed champion, Canelo Álvarez.

Iglesias's ability to close fights early and adapt to different styles—whether facing technicians or pressure fighters—has made him a standout in a crowded division.

His public persona is marked by confidence and a willingness to call out the best, as evidenced by his recent social media posts announcing his return to the ring for an IBF world title eliminator on September 4. In a message translated from Spanish, Iglesias stated, "On September 4, I'm returning to the ring for the IBF title eliminator and mandatory challenger to Canelo. The wait wasn't my fault; in this division, they often avoid me and then think they're the best. God willing, his timing is perfect. I'm going all out; the tornado is back." This attitude has endeared him to fans and media alike, and his fights are now eagerly anticipated events.
