In a jaw-dropping turn of events, Adrian Curiel, the massive underdog, shocked the boxing world by knocking out Sivenathi Nontshinga and claiming the IBF light-flyweight title.

This unexpected victory has propelled Curiel to the top of the boxing realm.

A Dream Come True for Adrian Curiel

Following his incredible win, Adrian Curiel expressed his elation, saying, "It’s an absolute dream for me this victory. It’s super important for me and my family, it’s a victory for Mexico." Curiel, who had suffered four losses in the past, revealed that he had always dreamed of becoming a world champion since he was six years old. He believes that someone is watching over him, guiding him to success.

Curiel Joins the Ranks of Boxing's Greatest Upsets

Adrian Curiel's stunning upset adds his name to the list of boxing's greatest upsets. In 2019, his fellow countryman Andy Ruiz shocked the world by defeating Anthony Joshua to become heavyweight world champion. However, the biggest upset in boxing history is still widely regarded as Buster Douglas' victory over Mike Tyson in 1990, where Douglas was a 42/1 underdog.

Curiel's triumph took place before Joe Cordina's successful IBF super featherweight title defense against Edward Vazquez. Cordina secured a majority decision after a hard-fought battle, extending his undefeated record to 17-0. Cordina expressed his satisfaction with the win, stating, "It wasn’t my best performance, but it still got the job done. I beat two champions back-to-back."
