PhilBoxing.com Thu, 17 Jul 2025

DETROIT (JULY 16, 2025) – Salita Promotions congratulates the newly minted WBC Super Lightweight World Champion Subriel Matias (23-2, 22 KOs) on his recent victory over former world champion Alberto Puello. In a back-and-forth outing, Matias scored a majority decision victory, giving Puello his first defeat. Matias’ world title showdown against Puello took place at the world-famous Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, N.Y.
In conjunction with long-time promoter Fresh Promotions, Salita Promotions co-promoted Matias’ matchup against Mexico’s Gabriel Gollaz Valenzuela in front of his hometown of Fajardo, Puerto Rico, in March, as well as his title fight against Puello.
“An incredible win and performance by Subriel Matías in front of his fans in New York City. Fighting on such a big stage in one of boxing’s most iconic cities, Subriel delivered a statement that he’s the best Junior Welterweight in the world,” said President of Salita Promotions Dmitriy Salita. “This victory showcased his talent, toughness, and star potential—I believe he’s just getting started.”
“The first protagonist in achieving all of this is God himself, who made a promise come true once again in my life,” said Subriel Matias. “Then I would also like to thank everyone who showed me their support, especially my promoter Juan Orengo, and my entire team. They are the ones responsible for a great win against a great fighter like Puello. I’m not thinking about (Dalton Smith) right now. I’m going to enjoy my time off with the family right now, and then there will be time soon enough to sit down with my team and start working towards retaining our titles. The titles that we had to work so hard to get.”
