Dante Kirkman Stays Undefeated Triumphing with Dominant Unanimous Decision Win

PhilBoxing.com





PALO ALTO, CA (September 8, 2025) – From the opening bell, Stanford graduate and rising middleweight prospect Dante “The Inferno” Kirkman (5-0, 2 KOs) showcased complete command in his latest outing, scoring a dominant unanimous decision victory over Dylan Carlson (2-11-3, 1 KO) in a four-round bout at “Thunder Showdown III”, held this past Saturday, September 6 at The Venue at Thunder Valley Casino Resort.

Promoted by Nasser Niavaroni of Uppercut Boxing Promotions, the event saw Kirkman bring the heat early and often, walking Carlson down and unleashing crisp, calculated combinations throughout. Judges saw it the same way, scoring the bout 40-36 across the board in favor of Kirkman.

“I felt sharp in there,” Kirkman said after the fight. “From the first round on, I wanted to make a statement by setting the pace and showing what I’ve been working on in camp. I respect Carlson for coming to fight, but I knew I had the tools to control every round—and I think I did that.”

The victory marks the fifth straight win for Kirkman, who continues to turn heads with each appearance in the ring. With a growing fan base and momentum on his side, he’s hungry for more before the year ends. “I’d love to get back in there one more time before the end of 2025,” he shared. “I’m healthy, I’m motivated, and I feel like I’m just scratching the surface of what I can do. Every fight, I’m leveling up.”

Balancing brains and brawn, Kirkman brings an unusual pedigree to the sport, having completed a rigorous academic journey at Stanford University before launching his professional boxing career. “Four years at Stanford taught me discipline and mental toughness,” Kirkman reflected. “Now, I’m learning how to channel that same drive into my boxing career. Every fight is another step forward, and I’m starting to see the picture come together.”

With another decisive performance behind him, Dante “The Inferno” Kirkman continues to blaze his path in the middleweight division, building momentum toward what’s shaping up to be a breakout run.
