Wilson Mascarenhas

The heat is growing in Novel England, when Ces Boxing returns to Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday, July 19 with “Summer Heat 2025”, sizzling pro-am Showcase regional showwood glowdown between the two best in Massachusetts.

WBC Silver Super Lightweight Champion Wilson “Ill Will” Mascarenhas (11-1, 5 Kos) from Novel Bedford places its title on the line against the undefeated pretender Nicolas Tylas Tylas (11-0-1, 8 Kos) Haverhill at Clash of Precision.

The 8-round main event, presented by CES Boxing in cooperation with Boston Boxing Promotions, puts the two most promising juniors in Novel England against each other at the beginning of their career.

Tickets for “Summer Heat 2025” at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT 19 July are available for purchase at cesfights.com, Ticketmaster and Boregan Sun Becion.

“He is a tough opponent, but nothing I have seen before,” says Mascarenhas. “It seems to me that it will be another good challenge for me, but I’m definitely ready for it.”

Since the return to boxing in 2021, after the terrifying attack, the charismatic mascarenhas was tears, winning 8 consecutive duels, 3 by knockout. A Verdean Roots from Portugal from Portugal captured the silver WBC US title last year, stopping the difficult Ghanian Patrick Okine in 6 single rounds.

On Saturday, Wilson will face probably the most hard test in this, bulky technician riding an undefeated run and hungry to get his first vital title.

While Mascarenhas recognizes the invincible record of Towny, “Ill Will” believes that his mentality will make a difference at night.

“I have overcome adversity in my career many times,” explains Mascarenhas. “I lost my first professional fight and I had to come back in a sedate injury. He is a warrior who has never lost before, who feels that he is at the top of the world. I show him that I want it more. I come with everything, and I have granularity and determination to delve deeper.”

Wondering if the fight will be a classic boxer duel vs. Puncher, Wilson is not able to find out that this is a bigger blow, imagining several ways in which he can ensure victory.

“Sometimes the number of knockout means little,” says mascarenhas from 8 knockout in 11 wins. “I’m going there and focus on my game plan. I have endurance to go through all 8 rounds or I can stand and fight. I have various tools that I can exploit during the Night of Fight.”

The depth of his skills and the quality of the opposition is what, according to Mascarenhas, will separate two fighters on Saturday.

“I worked too difficult to give up it,” said Mascaranehas. “At the end of the day, our records may look the same, but they are levels in it. He was not in deep waters, just like me. On July 19, he will find out that we are not at the same level, and this undefeated record will break down to the ground.”

The president and founder of CES BOKS Jimmy Burchfield Sr., who has been promoting several masters and unforgettable fights for over three decades, considers this main event as something special.

“This is boxing – two proud warriors from the same region that puts it all on the line,” said Burchfield. “Wilson Mascarenhas is a master in every sense of the word, but Nicolas Tejada is threatening, motivated and invincible. Fans are waiting for war.”


Lupita Medina

The rapidly rising female star, “Assassins from the face of babies”, Lupita Medina (10-0, 2 Kos), from Maywood, California, is to remain invincible against the Mexican Mexican mass of the mass of motion mass, in the next Hollywood event at the party on Friday, August 15. The ministry broadcast all over the world on UFC Fight Pass®, leading the world’s digital subscription service for combat sports.

The 21-year-old Medina has established herself since she became a professional in 2022 as a world-class fighter and currently ranks 4th place in the world by IBF and #5 by WBO. Medina manages Many Robles and trained by Edgar Jasso.

“Lupita is a really rapidly growing star in women’s box,” said Tom Loeffler. “Boxing fans in southern California and those who watch our events at UFC Fight Pass have watched how one of the most popular and talented teenage boxing fighters has become. In the last 25 years I have been working with many women’s world champions, I am convinced that Lupe has all the attributes to join such a long list.”

“Rubi Gutierrez is another hard challenge for me, but I worked very difficult this summer during training and I am ready for another great program on August 15,” said Lupe Medina. “My goal is to become a world champion and these are types of fights that will ensure that I will be ready when this time comes.”

Medina returns to an action after an eight-edged unanimous decision about Maria Micheo Santizo (12-5) in front of fans of the cultivation of the Southern Legion of California on May 17, 2025 in Los Angeles. She started the 2025 campaign with sterling within eight rounds against Augustin Solange Vazquez on February 21, 2025 at the Chumash Casino Resort.

Rubi Gutierrez made her debut in the United States in a sizzling clash with the world Brook Sibrian on May 22, 2025 in Los Angeles. The battle tested on the hardened Mexican boxing region, nervous 19-year-old tries to enter the highest levels of boxing with victory over the medina.

David Benavidez Finally Pursues Canelo Alvarez Three Years Later

Published

"David Benavidez Finally Pursues Canelo Alvarez Three Years Later"

David Benavidez has finally conceded that a fight with Canelo Alvarez will never happen, admitting that reality years after his climb up the divisions settled the question.

Benavidez currently fights at cruiserweight, two full divisions above super middleweight, while openly discussing a future heavyweight jump against Oleksandr Usyk. He has not made 168 pounds since 2023. Any realistic window to face Canelo closed several weight classes ago.

“I think honestly I could say with confidence that that fight is never going to happen,” Benavidez told Brian Custer.

When Brian asked if he had permanently moved on, Benavidez praised Canelo, yet still claimed the Mexican star simply refused to face him.

“I don’t want to keep disrespecting somebody … not even disrespecting, but just calling somebody out that doesn’t want to fight,” he said.

That rationale ignores the massive physical gap separating them today. Critics can reasonably argue Canelo should have met Benavidez when both shared the 168-pound division. That complaint loses all weight with Benavidez now preparing for Michal Cieslak at 200 pounds.

His prospective roadmap includes Jai Opetaia, Artur Beterbiev, and eventual heavyweight tests. None of those plans lead anywhere near Canelo.

A logical alternative after Canelo fell to Terence Crawford would have been targeting Crawford directly. Crawford had talked of entering boxing’s Mount Rushmore. The public intrigue around him was at an all-time peak, and Turki Alalshikh held the purse strings to fund virtually any blockbuster Crawford wanted next.

If Benavidez truly wanted to settle the score on the belts Canelo kept out of reach, Crawford was the obvious lever to pull. Instead of shifting his crosshairs to the newly crowned undisputed champion, Benavidez let the moment disappear.

“He’s a great fighter. He’s a legend,” Benavidez said. “I would like to be a great Mexican legend like him one day.”

Calling yourself a future Mexican legend sounds nice in an interview, but looking at the actual resume tells a different story. Canelo earned that status by taking on the toughest challenges available from junior middleweight all the way to light heavyweight, facing elite operators like Floyd Mayweather Jr., Gennadiy Golovkin, Miguel Cotto, and Dmitry Bivol.

Benavidez is nowhere near that neighborhood. Instead of securing defining legacy bouts, he is lining up voluntary defenses against Michal Cieslak at 200 pounds. While Cieslak is a capable European contender, nobody outside of hard-core circles is paying to see that fight. It does nothing to elevate Benavidez to the pantheon of Mexican greats.

If Benavidez genuinely wanted to close the gap on Canelo, he needed to make real waves. Taking out Gilberto Ramirez was a solid win, but sitting on belts and scheduling low-demand opponents like Cieslak keeps him in neutral. Fighting fringe contenders at cruiserweight only proves that while he talks about chasing history, his matchmaking still trails far behind the standard Canelo set.

Adrien Broner Evaluates Floyd Mayweathers Odds Against Ryan Garcia at 49

"Adrien Broner Evaluates Floyd Mayweather's Odds Against Ryan Garcia at 49"

Rumours of a left-field bout between WBC welterweight world champion Ryan Garcia and boxing icon Floyd Mayweather surfaced earlier this month.

Garcia has publicly addressed the talkconfirming that an offer is on the table but setting strict conditions for his participation.

Taking to social media, the 28-year-old active champion outright rejected the idea of an exhibition match, stating that he will only accept a licensed professional contest that puts Mayweather’s legendary 50-0 undefeated record at risk.

In his comments on X, Garcia claimed that Mayweather was the one who initiated contact, stating:

“I’m ready Floyd, remember you made this call. I’m just returning the favor. Offer is on the table … Let’s see how much you love that ‘0’… And no I wouldn’t do an exhibition I want his 0 on the f—ing line”.

Mayweather has not fought in a sanctioned professional bout since his 2017 victory over Conor McGregor, competing exclusively in exhibitions since that time. A scheduled professional return in a rematch against Manny Pacquiao was postponed due to legal issues on the American’s side.

Despite all of the above, four-weight champion Adrien Broner recently told Garcia to his face that Mayweather beats him.

“Floyd [wins]. Floyd gonna smoke bruh.”

Garcia was then animated about the potential fight, saying:

“I’ll knock out Floyd. If I get him hurt, it’s over. I’m not letting him go. I’ve seen him, he’s a small man. I don’t give a f**k what his name is, I don’t believe in acronyms. You know what? F**k him.”

Most fans will remain unconvinced that the fight happens, and be content with that given Mayweather’s age and inactivity.

Garcia – who recently defended his belt with a blistering second round stoppage over Conor Benn – instead seems poised to face Teofimo Lopez in a welterweight unification bout, that is if Lopez’s appeal to the WBA to bypass mandatory challenger Jack Catterall is successful.

Emanuel Navarrete vs OShaquie Foster: October 24-25 Boxing Schedule and Previews

"Emanuel Navarrete vs O’Shaquie Foster: October 24-25 Boxing Schedule and Previews"

Dalton Smith vs Alberto Puello (DAZN, 2:00 p.m. ET)

BLH will have live results and updates

From Sheffield, England, for Smith’s WBC super lightweight title. Smith won that title his last time in action, knocking out Subriel Matias in the 5th round of their January tilt. Matias won the belt in his previous fight against Puello, a majority decision result in July of 2025.

Will Smith be the first to successfully defend this belt since Regis Prograis in the summer of 2023? Or will Puello emerge triumphant, reclaiming the title and continuing the WBC 140 lbs. White Elephant belt exchange game? It’s a good matchup, and I’m eager to find out!

ON THE UNDERCARD: Maxi Hughes fights for a lesser WBC lightweight doodad against Giorgio Visiolirecently announced as Nominative Determinism Magazine’s 2026: “Most Likely Boxer to Spend His Free Time Seducing American Tourists on an Eat Pray Love Adventure in Venice.” The honor comes with a free Vespa and a lifetime supply of candles in Chianti bottles. Tough break for Guido Vianello, who’d held that title for as far back as I can remember. Also on the undercard, Shannon Ryan defends the British and Commonwealth super flyweight belts against Emma Dolan. Additional prelims stream available on DAZN starting at 12:00 pm ET.

Emanuel Navarrete vs O’Shaquie Foster (DAZN, 9:00 p.m. ET)

BLH will have live results and updates

From San Antonio, Texas, to unify Navarrete’s WBO and IBF and Foster’s WBC super featherweight titles. Fantastic fight here, with the unconventional and powerful Navarrete and the quick, shrewd, Foster providing the sort of stylistic debate I change my mind on every time I try to predict a winner.

Navarrete is a crowd pleaser, with a fighting style that produces knockouts far more often than not, but seldom without putting himself in serious jeopardy. His only official loss in 14 years, with a brief aside to acknowledge some referee and judging controversy along the way, came by split decision to Denys Berinchyk in Navarrete’s only pro tilt as a lightweight. That fight featured lots of joking references on commentary to Twinkie consumption, after which Navarrete found the discipline to get and stay back down at 130 lbs., where he’s now a unified champion.

Foster is a savvy, strategic guy who will always find his edge whether he’s slugging with the likes of Rocky Hernandez (and knocking him out) or outworking a former P4P guy like Stephen Foster. This is one of the five best unification fights available in boxing right now (for anyone wondering, I put it up there with Opetaia-Benavidez, even though that’s more of a half-unification, Benavidez-Bivol, another semi-unification in Ennis-Ortiz, and Lopez-Garcia). Definitely worth your time and attention.

ON THE UNDERCARD: Chief support here is Albert “Chop Chop” Gonzalez against Edward Vazquez. Gonzalez is 24 years old, 18-0 (11 KO), and he will absolutely have to earn his way past Vazquez, who is my favorite working class fighter in boxing today. The only fight I’m sure I’ve ever seen Vazquez lose was his knockout to Rafael Espinoza, and I’d put him 1-0-1 at worst against Ray Ford and Joe Cordina, even though the official results have him 0-2 there. Vazquez has one of the keenest tactical minds in the sport, and Gonzalez will need to prove he’s world class to get past him. Also, Steven Navarro vs Emanuel Moreno at bantamweight.

DAZN, 1:00 pm ET Top Tier Boxing

From London, England. DAZN are spotlighting the women’s lightweight matchup between Shauna Browne and Jade Burden as the main event. But, that feels disrespectful to not one, but TWO vacant junior varsity IBO title fights! Archie Sharp vs Ross Driscoll will decide the owner of the Continental lightweight belt, while Tiago Muxanga and Muzamiru Kakande will square off for the European super welterweight title. Why are a guy from Mozambique (Muxanga) and a guy from Uganda (Kakande) fighting for the European belt? Don’t ask me! I’m not the computer that does the IBO’s rankings!
