Highly undefeated boxer, responsible for a chilling knockout of a previous opponent, is in contention to face Canelo Alvarez or Terence Crawford in the upcoming fight.

In the world of boxing, Osleys Iglesias (14-0) has been making waves in the super middleweight division. The hard-hitting Cuban boxer recently defeated Vladimir Shishkin in an IBF eliminator, further cementing his position as a contender for the top spots in the division.

Iglesias' impressive victory over Shishkin boosted him to No.1 in the IBF super middleweight rankings, putting him in a strong position to become the mandatory challenger for one of the four belts that Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford will be competing for on September 13.

The knockout of Evgeny Shvedenko, one of the most brutal stoppages of 2024, put Iglesias' name on the map. The viral video of the fight showcased Iglesias' power and determination, leaving many in the boxing world wondering who could stand in his way.

Iglesias believes that Canelo Alvarez might be scared to fight him due to his youth and strength. However, he remains confident that he will emerge victorious in a potential matchup.

The only other defeat on Shishkin's record was a contentious unanimous decision loss to William Scull for the IBF super middleweight belt. Iglesias' victory over Shishkin further proves his readiness to challenge the upper echelons of the division.

Prior to the victory over Evgeny Shvedenko, Iglesias picked up the IBO super middleweight trinket with a 10th-round TKO victory over Andrii Velikovskyi in December 2022. Since then, he has defended the IBO super middleweight title for a fourth time against Vladimir Shishkin.

Iglesias has finished 13 of his 14 fights inside the distance, with Isaac Chilemba being the only man to make it to the final bell against him. Their fight took place in 2022, a testament to Iglesias' relentless pursuit of knockouts.

In addition to his wins over Shishkin and Velikovskyi, Iglesias has a win over former IBF 168lbs world champion Jose Uzcátegui and WBA 'regular' title challenger Sena Agbeko. These victories have solidified Iglesias' status as a force to be reckoned with in the super middleweight division.

Iglesias has publicly called out the winner of the Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford fight, expressing his eagerness to step into the ring with either champion. As the countdown to the highly anticipated bout begins, boxing fans eagerly await to see if Iglesias will get his wish.
