What of his professional boxing career?

Carlos Adames is a 24-1 boxer with 18 stoppages to his name. Moreover, he is the current WBC middleweight champion and a former WBO interim middleweight title challenger. His lone loss came against Patrick Teixeira, while every other opponent has failed to overcome him, including the great Sergiy Derevyanchenko.

Now, he must defend his WBC middleweight title against undefeated knockout artist Hamzah Sheeraz on the Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol rematch card. At just 30 years old, Adames is in his physical prime and will be determined to continue his excellent run of form and perhaps capture more world titles.
