Osleys Iglesias stopped Pavel Silyagin in the eighth round to secure the vacant IBF super-middleweight title in Montreal.<\/p>\n

The Cuban, who is unbeaten in 15 professional bouts, claimed the belt previously held by undisputed champion Terence Crawford before his retirement in December.<\/a><\/p>\n

Iglesias, 29, landed an uppercut on Silyagin in the first round, causing the Russian’s right eye to swell up.<\/p>\n

The fight was stopped when Iglesias inflicted further damage in the eighth round, leading to the 32-year-old retreating to his corner with damage to both eyes and a bloody nose.<\/p>\n

Three of Crawford’s belts now have new holders, with Christian Mbilli in possession of the WBC title and Armando Resendiz holding the WBA version.<\/p>\n

Britain’s Hamzah Sheeraz and Alem Begic will fight for the WBO title<\/a> on 23 May, on the undercard of Oleksandr Usyk’s defence of the WBC heavyweight title against Rico Verhoeven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Osleys Iglesias stopped Pavel Silyagin in the eighth round to secure the vacant IBF super-middleweight title in Montreal.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":599590,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-599589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/599589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=599589"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/599589\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/599590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=599589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=599589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=599589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
