Boukerdine and González stake their fledgling future in Dubai

On February 14, 2026, youth boxing will take center stage in Dubai as Ibrahim Boukerdine faces Argentina’s Tiago Dylan González for the vacant WBC Youth bantamweight world title.

This is not just a fight for a belt; it is an opportunity to determine who is ready to take the next step on the international stage. González arrives with a record of 6-1, including 4 knockouts, driven by aggression and ambition, while Boukerdine looks to impose his strategy with the momentum of strong promotional backing despite competing on neutral ground.

A victory does not guarantee instant stardom, but it does place the winner firmly on the radar plus a high rung of the youth world boxing ladder.
