Those suggesting Osleys Iglesias is the world’s best super middleweight boxer can see their man make a case on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Iglesias, a 28-year-old Cuban who stands a shade over 6’2″ and has won all 15 of his pro fights (14 by KO) defends the IBF share of the 168-pound throne atop a five-bout main card at the Capitole de Qu\u00e9bec theater in Quebec City, Canada.<\/p>\n
Iglesias earned the IBF belt when he stopped Pavel Silyagin in Montreal in April. He’s held the lesser-regarded IBO title since his eighth pro fight in 2022 and is ranked second<\/a> in the weight class by Ring Magazine behind only Canelo Alvarez.<\/p>\n His Danish challenger, Oliver Zaren, is 19-0-1 as a pro and has a win and a draw in two fights in 2026. He’s fought in Denmark, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Spain, but this is his first fight trip to North America. He is ranked fifth<\/a> behind Iglesias by the IBF and 30th by the IBO<\/a> but is unranked by The Ring,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Those suggesting Osleys Iglesias is the world’s best super middleweight boxer can see their man make a case…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":925952,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-925951","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\/925951","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=925951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/925951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/925952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=925951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=925951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=925951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
