MONTREAL, April 8, 2026 — The “Boogeyman” is back tomorrow night! Already the IBO super middleweight world champion, Osleys "El Tornado" Iglesias (14-0) will attempt to unify his title with the vacant IBF super middleweight (168 lb) world championship against the formidable undefeated contender Pavel Silyagin (16-0-1) this Thursday at the Montreal Casino.
It’s one of the most important fights presented in Quebec in recent years. The whirlwind Iglesias has promised to become the undisputed champion, while Silyagin intends to bring the belts back to Russia…
In the co-main event, Canadian Olympian and top-5 world contender Arthur "The Wolf" Biyarslanov (20-0) will go to war against powerful Mexican puncher Jimerr "Mortero" Espinosa (17-2-1) in a NABF super lightweight (140 lb) championship bout.
Also on the card: an exciting local matchup between Montreal’s Luis Santana (15-0) and Brossard’s pride and former top-3 WBA contender Chann "The Man" Thonson (18-1), with the NABF lightweight (135 lb) championship—and a place in the world rankings—on the line.
Former world title challenger Leïla Beaudoin (13-2) will also be in action against three-time world champion Victoria Bustos (26-9-1), along with the returns of Alex "King Cogne" Gaumont (13-1, 9), Stephane Fondjo (14-2-1), and EOTTM prospect Erik Israyelyan (4-0) in an explosive seven-fight card!
Presented to a sold-out crowd, the event will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will be broadcast in full exclusively on Punching Grace in Quebec. TVA Sports will also air the undercard. Outside Quebec, the #IglesiasSilyagin event will be broadcast worldwide on DAZN.
