The WBC Boxing Grand Prix reaches its most electric stage on Wednesday, 13 August, when the quarter-finals unfold across four weight classes. The tournament - open solely to fighters under twenty-six with fewer than fifteen professional bouts - continues to serve as a global launch-pad, and every man left in the draw is now three victories away from lifting the José Sulaimán Trophy.
In the featherweight bracket Nigeria’s Yusuf Adisa Adeniji collides with France’s Yoni Valverde, while Italy’s Muhamet Qamili meets American hope Troy Nash. Fellow U.S. prospect Iman Lee faces South African boxer Bekizizwe Maitse, and Uzbekistan’s Ayubkhon Bakhtiyorov takes on Mexican puncher Brandon Mejía Mosqueda.
The super-lightweights promise equal intrigue. Kazakhstan’s Sanatali Toltayev squares off with Ukraine’s Danylo Lozan, Mexico’s Misael Cabrera Urías meets Uzbek southpaw Mujibillo Tursunov, Colombia’s Carlos Utría battles Canadian switch-hitter Spencer Wilcox, and Italy’s Fiorenzo Priolo confronts South African contender Ntethelelo Nkosi.
Middleweight action features Ukraine’s Dmytro Rybalko against Canadian Derek Pomerleau, Frenchman Ephrem Bariko versus Colombia’s Carlos Sinisterra Palacios, Australia’s Dylan Biggs matched with another Ukrainian, Petro Frolov, and Mexico’s Emiliano Aguillón Castro meeting France’s Lancelot de la Chappelle.
The heavyweight draw rounds out the bill. South Africa’s Keaton Gomes faces America’s Devon Young; Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Ahmed Krnjic locks horns with Ukraine’s Tsotne Rogava; Poland’s Piotr Lacz meets Argentina’s Kevin Ramírez; and U.S. prospect Dante Stone encounters Morocco’s Youness Baalla.
All sixteen bouts will stream live as part of the WBC’s international broadcast. Winners progress to the semi-finals and, ultimately, a shot at the José Sulaimán Trophy.
