Unbeaten super middleweight contender Christian Mbilli (28-0, 23 KOs), ranked WBC #1, WBA #2, and IBF/WBO #3, secured a dominant ten-round unanimous decision victory over three-time world title challenger Sergiy Derevyanchenko (15-6, 10 KOs) on Saturday night at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City, Canada. Despite the 38-year-old Derevyanchenko displaying solid skills, Mbilli’s relentless pressure proved too much for him. In the fourth round, Derevyanchenko appeared to suffer an injury to his left arm, forcing him to rely primarily on his right hand for the remainder of the fight. Mbilli capitalized on the situation, regaining control with a fierce assault in the sixth round. Though Derevyanchenko fought valiantly, his injury significantly hindered his performance, allowing Mbilli to break him down and secure a clear victory. The judges scored the bout 100-90, 99-91, and 98-92 in favor of Mbilli.

In a pivotal heavyweight showdown, Guido “The Gladiator” Vianello (13-2-1, 11 KOs) scored a major upset with an eighth-round stoppage of Arslanbek Makhmudov (19-2, 18 KOs). Vianello took control early, dominating the initial rounds and causing Makhmudov’s left eye to swell shut by the third. Despite Makhmudov’s resilience, he struggled in exchanges, often coming off second best. Frustration set in for Makhmudov, leading to a point deduction in the sixth round for hitting behind the head. Vianello capitalized on his momentum, landing powerful shots in the seventh round that visibly rocked Makhmudov. The fight was ultimately halted by the ring doctor at the start of the eighth round, securing Vianello’s victory.

IBO super middleweight champion Osleys “El Tornado” Iglesias (12-0, 11 KOs) delivered a devastating performance, overwhelming Sena “The African Assassin” Agbeko (28-4, 22 KOs) in a non-title bout. Iglesias dropped Agbeko late in the first round, setting the tone for a quick finish. The fight was stopped at 1:16 of the second round as Iglesias unleashed a relentless barrage of punches, leaving Agbeko defenseless.

Unbeaten lightweight prospect Abdullah Mason (15-0, 13 KOs) continued his impressive run, dismantling Mike Ohan Jr. (19-2, 9 KOs) in just two rounds. Mason floored Ohan in the first round, then forced Ohan’s corner to throw in the towel after a second knockdown in the second round. The stoppage came at just 40 seconds into the round.

Middleweight Jahi Tucker (12-1-1, 5 KOs) secured a dominant victory in an eight-round contest against Santiago Fernandez (8-2-1, 4 KOs). Tucker controlled the fight from start to finish, earning a unanimous decision with scores of 80-72 on all three cards.

Unbeaten light heavyweight Wilkens Mathieu (10-0, 6 KOs) delivered a punishing performance against Facundo Galovar (15-12-2, 9 KOs), winning every round in a six-round bout. The judges’ scorecards read 60-54 across the board in favor of Mathieu.

In the female super featherweight division, Leïla Beaudoin (12-1, 1 KO) outpointed two-time world title challenger Lizbeth Crespo (15-8, 4 KOs) to capture the WBO International belt. Beaudoin’s superior skill set was reflected in the judges’ scores of 100-90, 99-91, and 98-92.
