On Sunday, October 19, the boxing world will witness a historic event: the penultimate stage of the first-ever World Boxing Grand Prix.
Sixteen warriors from around the globe will step into the ring with a shared dream — to bring home the José Sulaimán Trophy. Every punch, every round, every breath will move them closer to glory… or to heartbreak. Only the bravest will continue their march toward the title that will redefine boxing history.

• Featherweight
  Bekizizwe Maitse vs Brandon Mejía: After impressing the world with his skill and poise, South Africa’s Bekizizwe Maitse faces a tough challenge in Brandon Mejía, the last remaining Mexican in the tournament — a fighter known for his solid technique and unbreakable will.
• Yoni Valverde vs Muhamet Qamili: In his previous fight, Qamili stunned the crowd by defeating one of the tournament’s fan favorites in a thrilling war. To reach the long-awaited final, however, he must now overcome the dominant Frenchman Yoni Valverde, who comes in hungry for glory.

• Super Lightweight
  Carlos Utria vs Ntethelelo Nkosi: Utria has not only won fans with his story but also with his performances inside the ring. His dominant displays have proven why he’s among the best in his division. Still, the road won’t be easy — he must face Nkosi, one of the tournament’s biggest surprises.
• Danylo Lozan vs Mujibillo Tursunov: A bloody battle caused by accidental head clashes left fans amazed by the courage and skill of Ukrainian Danylo Lozan. In this semifinal, he’ll stand across from Mujibillo Tursunov, one of the tournament’s most consistent and technically sound fighters, who has shown he has what it takes to win it all.

• Middleweight
  Dylan Biggs vs Lancelot de la Chappelle: Dylan Biggs has been one of the tournament’s standout performers thanks to his explosive style and power. Across from him, De la Chappelle has shocked everyone by eliminating two Mexican contenders in dominant fashion. This bout promises to be one of the night’s most electrifying clashes.
• Derek Pomerleau vs Carlos Sinisterra: Two spectacular performances — both ending in devastating knockouts — have positioned Canadian Derek Pomerleau as a strong favorite to claim the title. But Carlos Sinisterra proved he’s just as dangerous, pulling off a thrilling comeback in his last fight and sealing it with a highlight-reel KO.

• Heavyweight
  Keaton Gomes vs Ahmed Krnjic: This matchup has all the ingredients to steal the show. Gomes is the only fighter to have finished all his bouts by knockout, while Krnjic isn’t far behind — only one of his three fights has gone the full six rounds.
• Kevin Ramírez vs Dante Stone: Argentine Kevin Ramírez comes off a close, hard-fought battle that proved why he belongs among the tournament’s final four heavyweights. Across the ring, Dante Stone, the last remaining American, will look to honor the proud legacy of U.S. heavyweights.
