Carnation conquers world title: Ascenso and Thibeault shine in women’s boxing

Kim Clavel Crowned World Champion in Two Divisions

Canadian boxer Kim Clavel (22-2, 3 KOs) made history on Saturday by becoming a two-division world champion. She achieved this feat by defeating Sol Cudos (10-1-2, 3 KOs) by unanimous decision and conquering the IBF strawweight title. Clavel, fighting in his hometown, at the Theatre St-Denis in Montreal, scored 99-91, 99-91 and 98-92. His combination of punches and hand speed made the difference, outperforming his opponent in numerous exchanges during the exciting fight. This triumph boosts Clavel two positions in the strawweight rankings, now placing her at number 3, while Cudos drops to number 4. In the same event, Canadian double Olympian Tamm Thibeault (4-0, 3 KOs) achieved a technical knockout in the first round against Cristina Mazzotta in her first professional fight in her home province. Thibeault, number 1 contender for the IBF and WBA, moves up to second place in the middleweight rankings, solidifying herself as a promising star.

Rankings are updated every Tuesday, based on recent fights, head-to-head matchups, and the quality of opponents. However, until boxers face each other, there is a degree of subjectivity in the assessments.

Boxers who have not fought in 18 months and have no scheduled fights will be removed from the rankings until they compete again.
