Osleys Iglesias vs. Oliver Zaren Live Updates, Highlights and Results

It was a "winner and still champion" moment for Iglesias and his team after referee Eddie Claudio reacted to the towel thrown from Zaren's corner and called it off at 1:31 of Round 7.

Zaren lost for the first time after 19 wins and a draw as a pro.

"I had to adapt to a new training team," Iglesias said, "but I'm very proud of the result.

"'The Tornado' has touched down."

A prolonged meeting with a ringside physician to look at Zaren's cut left eye delayed the start of the seventh and Zaren looked increasingly ready to go.

Blow-by-blow man Corey Erdman referred to Zaren's eye as a "natural disaster" as the fight became increasingly one-sided in nature.

A towel came in from Zaren's corner as a sign of surrender to end the fight, giving Iglesias his 15th stoppage win in 16 career fights and keeping him in the mix for big events at 168.

Iglesias was a better fighter from distance in the fourth, landing effectively with his right jab and later scoring with a right hook. Still, Zaren avoided prolonged damage and took the singular shots well, then landed well himself to the body and head in the last 30 seconds.

Zaren's left eye was visibly swelling in the fifth thanks to Iglesias's consistent connections with the right hand. The Dane went to a knee in the middle of the ring in the final minute of the fifth, but it was ruled a pushdown, correctly, by referee Eddie Claudio.

Zaren looked fatigued and perhaps a bit defeated in his corner prior to the sixth and he continued to be second best, though not by dominant fashion, through the halfway point.

A jab landed by Iglesias opened a cut over Zaren's left eye and Zaren touched the canvas again midway through the round, but it was again not ruled a knockdown by referee Eddie Claudio. He was legitimately dropped in the corner and then again in the middle of the ring in the final minute of the round.

Call it 5-1 and 59-54 for Iglesias through six.

The southpaws got right to business to start Round 1, and Iglesias began firing right jabs and winging lead right hooks soon after he left his stool.

Zaren, meanwhile, stood his ground and threw straighter shots, primarily jabs from both left- and right-handed stances. Iglesias didn't land a kill shot, but he did drive Zaren back to the ropes late in the round.

Iglesias continued to control space visually in Round 2, but Zaren was stable enough under the pressure to make it look as if he might be a problem in the back half of the fight if he lasts that long and Iglesias runs lower on energy.

Through three, is Iglesias winning? Yes. But is it a one-sided showcase for the Canada-based fighter? No. B/R has it 2-1 and 29-28 in his favor.

It's main-event time at last in Quebec City, where adopted favorite and IBF champ Osleys Iglesias made his first ring walk as a defending champion.

He's never fought at this venue, but he is 6-0 with six KOs in Quebec.

The French-speaking ring announcer lent some drama to the moment when he read the scores in French first, then English.

And the first one going to Shishkin by a 97-93 margin certainly perked up ears in the venue.

But Mathieu got the other two, both by 98-92 counts, to escape with a split decision.

"Shishkin is one of the best in the world at 168," Mathieu said. "I figured I would get him later but (his) combinations were tough to deal with."

There were no late fireworks through the 10th, but it seemed to be Mathieu's superior production across the fight's back half that should earn him a competitive decision.

B/R has it 7-3 and 97-93 for the local favorite, whose parents are in the crowd.

"(Mathieu) had to answer more questions," blow-by-blow man Corey Erdman said, "than in any of his fights up until this one."

Mathieu went all in on the athleticism to start the seventh, firing shots from odd and angles while leaping in and out of an engaged position in the pocket. Shishkin continued fighting behind a straight-up stance with jabs and right hands and what blow-by-blow man Corey Erdman called "pattern recognition."

Both men worked the body well late in the seventh and Shishkin trainer Sugar Hill insisted after the round Mathieu was on the verge of being stopped.

Mathieu delivered two hard left hooks in the eighth that clearly landed, but neither did the sort of damage that the younger fighter is accustomed to seeing when he connects on those shots.

It'd easy to imagine it's closer—or even the other way—but it seems Mathieu's boost in output has moved him into a lead as the fight enters its final three minutes.

B/R has Mathieu up, 6-3 and 87-84, entering the 10th, which Mathieu will see for just the second time in 17 fights.

Shishkin continued to fight in the front foot into the fourth but Mathieu continued to gain ground with faster hands that had become busier than in the earlier going. A left uppercut followed by an overhand right drove Shishkin backward in one exchange.

Fired up by a corner chat with trainer Sugar Hill, Shishkin was back to the jab and aggression to start the fifth and landed well in the opening 90 seconds.

The pendulum switched back to Mathieu in the sixth, when he used his speed and athleticism to land the few memorable shots of the round.

B/R's got it all even, 3-3 in rounds and 57-57 on points, through six.

Shishkin worked well in the opening round behind an educated left hand, using a jab and turning it over into a lead hook while keeping the younger, faster Mathieu tentative.

Mathieu has dug single hard shots to the body and fired occasional overhand rights, but the work rate was clear in Shishkin's direction through two rounds.

Mathieu took it up a gear in the third and began initiating exchanges and countering well with fast hands. It may have been enough to nick Round 3 for the local favorite and the B/R card has it 2-1 and 29-28 in Shishkin's favor through nine minutes.

It's step-up time in the co-main fight for super middleweight Wilkens Mathieu, who's ranked in the top 15 by all four major sanctioning bodies and will take on former world title challenger Vladimir Shishkin in a scheduled 10-rounder.

Shishkin was beaten over 12 rounds by then-IBF champion William Scull in 2024 and was stopped eight rounds by main-eventer Osley Iglesias in 2025.

He's fought and won once since losing to Iglesias. Mathieu is 16-0 with 11 KOs.

It's three straight wins and seven in her last eight fights for Beaudoin, who indeed captured a unanimous decision with three scorecards that read 100-89 in her direction.

She retained her WBA interim title at 130 pounds and has swept 30 straight rounds on the official scorecards across those last three fights.

"I almost had her at one point," Beaudoin said, "but the big shot never came."

What looked like a glorified sparring session between mismatched opponents finally ended after 10 rounds in which Beaudoin's level was far higher than Alfonzo's.

Full marks to Alfonzo for staying in and taking a thorough beating.

The B/R card should match the officials with a 10-0 shutout in rounds and a 100-89 rout in points, thanks to the single knockdown.

Alfonzo was lashed with hard jabs and follow-up right hands in the seventh as her nose poured blood and a stoppage, either by the referee or her own corner, suddenly seemed imminent.

It looked even more one-sided in the eighth, but Alfonzo's corner showed no inclination to pulling their fighter out entering the ninth.

Alfonzo has barely won a minute, let alone a round, and it's got to be 9-0 and 90-80 heading into the final two-minute session.

Beaudoin, who's not lost a round on an official scorecard since she was beaten by Alicia Baumgardner last December, continued to fight well early in the fourth, then dropped Alfonzo to the floor with a body shot while the fighters were being separated by the referee.

It was not scored a knockdown, and Alfonzo was given a brief respite. Both women then tumbled to the mat during a tie-up early in the fifth and Beaudoin was warned late in the round for using her elbows.

Alfonzo, making her first fighting trip outside of Argentina, arrived with just four of her nine wins over fighters with winning records. She was dominated again late in Round 6, dropped in the final 10 seconds with body blows, and enters the seventh likely down 6-0 and 60-53 on the cards.

Beaudoin has just two KOs in her 15 wins, but she fought the first round on her front foot and worked well late in the round to Alfonzo's body. A hard right to the head in the second round noticeably troubled Alfonzo and Beaudoin worked effectively late, again, to the body.

Beaudoin remained faster, busier and sharper into the third and exited the round with what could only be described as easy-to-score 30-27 (points) and 3-0 (rounds) leads.

A second-tier world title belt is on the line for the 10-rounder matching super featherweights Leila Beaudoin, a Quebec native with 15 wins in 17 fights, and Brisa Abigail Rosario Alfonzo, an Argentine import who's 9-1-2 as a pro since 2023.

It only took 69 seconds for Imam Khataev to score his 12th KO in 13 wins, essentially knocked Padraig McCrory down twice with the same left hook to end it at 1:09.

The winner, ranked third in the world by the WBA and fifth by both the WBC and WBO, defended a North American title with the victory.

A Montreal-based Russian export, the perpetually stalking Khataev dumped McCrory to his right knee with a left hook early, then watched as the veteran rose and then went back down to be counted out.

Khataev improved to 7-0 in his career in Canada.

Bout order on these shows is never a given.

But the DAZN broadcast team suggested the 10-rounder at light heavyweight between Imam Khataev and Padraig McCrory is next on the agenda in Quebec City.

Khataev, 32, is 12-1 with 11 KOs and has won two straight since a loss to highly-regarded David Morrell, while McCrory, nicknamed "The Hammer, is 20-2 with 10 KOs.

Belarus export Dzmitry Asanau wound up protecting his unbeaten record and taking the 0 of Montreal native Luis Santana in a fight that was underway at 8 p.m.

The 30-year-old won a decision with scores of 98-91, 98-91 and 97-92 and improved to 14-0 as a pro while dropping Santana, 28, to 16-1 after their 10-rounder.

It's a good time to be an elite super middleweight and Osleys Iglesias will keep himself in the big-fight mix if he successfully defends his IBF title tonight.

Christian Mbilli is the WBC's champion heading into a fight with Canelo Alvarez later this month, so a match with the Mexican superstar isn't out of the question.

He's not on this card, but Jaimie Munguia is a modern needle-mover.

He's pining for a spot on the upcoming Canelo Alvarez card in Saudi Arabia for a chance to defend the WBA 168-pound title he won by beating Armando Reséndiz.
