Underdog Pulls Off Stunning Upset to Become World Champion

Adrian Curiel Shocks the Boxing World

In a surprising turn of events, underdog Adrian Curiel has dethroned Sivenathi Nontshinga to become the new IBF light-flyweight world champion. The 24-year-old Mexican fighter delivered an incredible one-punch knockout in Monte Carlo, leaving his previously unbeaten opponent unconscious on the canvas.

Massive Upset in the Ring

Sivenathi Nontshinga, who was considered the heavy favorite with bookies, was caught off guard in the second round by Curiel's overhand right to the chin. The champion collapsed and fell through the ropes, ultimately lying unconscious on his back. This unexpected defeat has shocked the boxing world.

A Dream Come True for Curiel

For Adrian Curiel, this victory is a dream come true. He expressed the importance of this win for himself, his family, and Mexico. Curiel revealed that he had a conversation with his mother before the fight, assuring her that he would not be beaten. With this victory, he now stands on top of the world.

Joining the Ranks of Boxing Upsets

Curiel's incredible upset adds his name to the list of boxing's great upsets. This includes his fellow countryman Andy Ruiz, who shocked the world in 2019 by defeating Anthony Joshua to become the heavyweight world champion. However, Buster Douglas' victory over Mike Tyson in 1990 is still widely regarded as the biggest upset in boxing history.

After a hard-fought battle, Cordina secured a majority decision victory, extending his undefeated record to 17-0.
