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.”

Heavyweight Shocks Again: Tyson Fury Left Bloodied and Knocked Out Cold

Otto Wallin, the heavyweight who left Tyson Fury covered in blood and was later stopped by Anthony Joshua, suffered another crushing setback when Vladyslav Sirenko knocked him out cold in the final round of their Zuffa Boxing clash in New York.
Wallin was trailing on all three scorecards before Sirenko landed a devastating right hand followed by a left hook in the closing seconds of the tenth and final round.
The Swedish southpaw crashed to the canvas and remained down long enough for a stretcher to be brought into the ring, although he later sat up and responded to medical staff.
From Tyson Fury Scare To Another Knockout
Wallin’s career has become one of the heavyweight division’s biggest “what if” stories.
In 2019, he came within touching distance of ending Tyson Fury’s unbeaten record after opening a horrific cut above the Briton’s right eye that required 47 stitches. Many believed the contest could have been stopped before Fury battled through to win on points.
Speaking exclusively to World Boxing News three years later, Wallin insisted the fight would have been waved off had the roles been reversed.
“I think the cuts that he had were very bad. He had 47 stitches after the fight. If I had those cuts, the doctors would have stopped the fight, for sure,” Wallin told WBN.
Despite that disappointment, Wallin rebuilt his career by defeating current WBA heavyweight champion Murat Gassiev before earning high-profile clashes with Joshua and Derek Chisora.
His defeat to Joshua ended in a fifth-round stoppage. This latest loss to Sirenko marks the second knockout defeat of Wallin’s career and leaves the 35-year-old facing the toughest questions yet over his future.

Vladyslav Sirenko Scores Career-Best Win
For Sirenko, the victory represented the biggest win of his professional career.
The Ukrainian improved to 23-1 with 20 knockouts by stopping one of the heavyweight division’s most respected contenders after bouncing back from last year’s defeat to Solomon Dacres.
Wallin once looked destined for another world title opportunity after pushing Fury to the brink and defeating future WBA heavyweight champion Murat Gassiev.
Two knockout defeats later, that dream looks further away than ever.

Terence Crawford Declares One Current Fighter Unbeatable: He Will Take Over

Terence Crawford believes one man will follow in his footsteps and retire as an unbeaten world champion, essentially becoming a generational great in the process.
‘Bud’ became not only a world champion but a three-division undisputed king, ending his career with a legacy-defining unanimous decision triumph over Canelo Alvarez.
Even before that, Crawford was considered an elite pound-for-pound operator for over a decade, with many believing his most complete performance came against Errol Spence Jr in 2023.
But while the American is perhaps in a class of his own, he nonetheless believes that four-division world champion Shakur Stevenson can achieve a similar degree of success.
The 29-year-old claimed a career-best victory in January, losing just one round as he dethroned Teofimo Lopez with a masterful unanimous decision victory.
Having now signed with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, though, it remains to be seen whether he defends his WBO super-lightweight title or pursues opportunities elsewhere.
Either way, Crawford has told Fight Hub TV that Stevenson has the mental and physical attributes to remain unbeaten at the highest level.
“I think Shakur [will take over]for sure, Shakur hands down. I think, given the opportunity, he’s going to show the world that he’s the best. His mental, his defense [sets him apart]takes his craft serious. He’s the type of the fighter that you gotta pull out the gym. [Is he beatable?] Not at all. Everybody [is] beatable, but I don’t see nobody beating him.”
Since inking a promotional deal with Zuffa, Stevenson has named Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis as two potential opponents who would cement his greatness.
The slick southpaw could therefore compete anywhere between lightweight and 147lbs, depending on which division offers the most realistic opportunities.

Oleksandr Usyk has shared his reaction to Anthony Joshua‘s dramatic knockout victory against Kristian Prenga.
Usyk nearly suffered his own shock defeat in May when he was pushed to the limit by kickboxing star Rico Verhoevenand two months on it was nrw teammate Joshua’s turn to come close to a massive upset loss that would have stunned the heavyweight division.
The Brit was dropped twice by massive underdog Prenga in the opening round of their clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but ‘AJ’ managed to recover and record a big knockdown of his own in the second round that resulted in the stoppage victory.
Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.
Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.
“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.
It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.
“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”
Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.
