WBC Boxing Grand Prix Finals countdown

The roar of history echoed in Saudi Arabia during the semi-finals of the inaugural WBC Boxing Grand Prix.

A tournament that has forever changed the way global boxing is understood. Every bout was a display of power, technique, and heart, paving the way for a set of finals that promise to be legendary.

The finalists have been decided, and on Saturday, December 20th, we will know the champions who will hoist the José Sulaimán Trophy, the symbol of the highest honor in the World Boxing Council.
These are the finals that will decide the first monarchs of the WBC Boxing Grand Prix:

Featherweight

Muhamet Qamili vs Brandon Mejía

Both demonstrated that the knockout is their language. Qamili blasted Yoni Valverde Jr. with a precise and devastating combination, while Mejía did the same with a demolishing liver shot on Maite. Two predators of the ring ready to define who is the true king of the 126 pounds division.

Super Lightweight

Mujibillo Tursunov vs Carlos Utria

One of the most anticipated fights of the tournament will pit Uzbek discipline against Colombian grit. Tursunov overcame the always complicated Danylo Lozan by majority decision in a technical and physical war. In contrast, Utria ignited the arena with an explosive first-round knockout over Ntethelelo Nkosi. Maximum anticipation for a battle that could steal the show.

Middleweight

Derek Pomerleau vs Dylan Biggs

Intelligence and resistance will be tested in a final that promises to be a boxing clinic. Pomerleau survived a tough contest against the Colombian Carlos Sinisterra, taking the victory by majority decision. Biggs, for his part, convinced all five judges —a WBC innovation in this tournament— and authoritatively defeated the Frenchman Lancelot de la Chappelle by unanimous decision. Two distinct styles, one same ambition: the green and gold glory.

Heavyweight

Ahmed Krnjic vs Kevin Ramirez

The giants of the Grand Prix closed the semi-finals with pure fire. Krnjic imposed his power and control over the South African Keaton Gomes, taking a hard-fought split decision.

But the story of the day was the Argentine Kevin Ramirez, who surprised everyone by defeating the American Dante Stone, also by split decision. A high-voltage final between two colossuses who do not know the meaning of “backing down.”

The cards are on the table and the countdown has begun. This December 20th, the world will witness the outcome of this historic tournament. Only four names will be engraved on the José Sulaimán Trophy… and the rest, in the memory of all boxing fans.
