    Seifeddine Letaief Calls Out Arbnor Jashari For Swiss Boxing Match

    Seifeddine Letaief has called out Arbnor Jashari for a boxing match in Switzerland. Letaief, a Swiss boxer, is eager to settle a growing rivalry with Jashari, who is also a professional boxer.

    The potential fight arrangement awaits Jashari’s response. The potential fight would take place in Switzerland.

    Letaief is ranked No. 1 in Switzerland in his division, while Jashari holds the No. 2 position. This sets the stage for a match between two undefeated fighters from Switzerland.

    The tension has grown between the two through social media exchanges, FaceTime conversations regarding a potential fight, and verbal back-and-forth.

    Letaief Ready to Fight Jashari

    In an interview with World Boxing News, Seifeddine Letaief said that he is ready to settle a growing rivalry with fellow unbeaten fighter Arbnor Jashari in the ring.

    According to Letaief, the rivalry escalated to the point that Jashari attempted to involve the SwissBoxing committee. The 23-year-old:

    “At one point, he even tried to have me banned through SwissBoxing, claiming I humiliated him on social media.”

    Letaief insisted that the situation is simple from his perspective. He stated that he is ready for the battle and believes the matchup should happen now.

    “I’m ready to fight and settle everything in the ring,” he explained.

    Both fighters are currently undefeated. Letaief turned professional in September 2024 and has a flawless 6-0 record, including a couple of knockouts. He has already fought several times in the Zurich region while establishing himself as one of the country’s emerging prospects.

    Meanwhile, 25-year-old Jashari made his debut in April 2022 and holds a 7-0 record with two knockouts.

    With both fighters undefeated and ranked at the top of their division in Switzerland, a potential showdown between Seifeddine Letaief and Arbnor Jashari could quickly become one of the most talked-about domestic matchups in Swiss boxing.

  • Thomas Narmo’s 14 Knockouts Turn Heads in Heavyweight Division

    Thomas Narmo’s 14 Knockouts Turn Heads in Heavyweight Division

    Thomas Narmo, a heavyweight boxer from Norway, has achieved 14 knockouts in 26 rounds. The ‘Last Viking’, has quickly gained attention in the boxing world for his impressive knockout rate.

    Narmo’s boxing career began on February 26th, 2022. All 14 of his professional boxing bouts have ended in knockouts. In addition to boxing, Narmo holds a professional MMA record of 4-5-0. The 31-year-old stands at 6’7″ and previously played professional hockey. He currently trains at Novus Academy.

    Narmo’s Potential in Heavyweight Boxing

    Boxing has been seeking a knockout artist. Thomas Narmo might be far from that level yet, but his record speaks for itself. The heavyweight division still has champions and contenders.

    At present, the buzz in the heavyweight division revolves on unbeaten prospect Moses Itauma, the teenage prodigy carefully developed by promoter Frank Warren into one of Britain’s most talented prospects.

    Itauma’s ascent has grabbed the attention. However, Narmo emerging from the European circuit with a perfect knockout record is quite impressive.

    Currently, Narmo’s most notable triumph is arguably against Mark De Mori, a seasoned campaigner who once lasted only 131 seconds against a half-injured David Haye more than a decade ago.

    In a division always hungry for power punchers, Thomas Narmo is beginning to build a reputation that is hard to ignore. If the Norwegian can continue extending his knockout streak while stepping up the level of opposition, the ‘Last Viking’ could soon find himself moving from an under-the-radar prospect to a legitimate contender in the heavyweight scene.

  • Ryan Garcia Blasts UFC’s BMF Title After Dull Oliveira-Holloway Fight at UFC 326

    Ryan Garcia Blasts UFC’s BMF Title After Dull Oliveira-Holloway Fight at UFC 326

    WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia didn’t hold back after watching Saturday night’s UFC 326 main event — and he made sure everyone knew it.

    Following Charles Oliveira’s unanimous decision over Max Holloway in the BMF title fight, Garcia took to X to unload on the UFC’s prized belt, questioning whether a grappling-heavy shutout performance had any business being associated with the belt.

    Garcia suggested that Oliveira’s takedown-focused approach was a mismatch for the title’s identity.

    “BMF or it’s just not on the ground the whole time,” Garcia posted,

    Garcia wasn’t done. He added:

    “I was expecting the UFC BMF card to be better — not going to lie,” he continued, adding a pointed jab at UFC brass before signing off with a “Make America proud type shit” message.

    A Performance That Drew Widespread Backlash

    Oliveira controlled Holloway almost entirely on the mat, earning a shutout 50-45 across all three scorecards. Many fans and fighters defined the fight as one-sided and slow — a far cry from the action-packed slugfest the BMF title is meant to celebrate.

    Garcia was far from alone in his criticism. The result reignited the ongoing debate over whether the BMF title has lost its identity, with many calling for it to be scrapped or significantly reformed.

    Garcia Fresh Off His Own Dominant Showing

    The 27-year-old is riding high after capturing the WBC welterweight strap on February 21st, defeating Mario Barrios by dominant unanimous decision in Las Vegas. Judges scored the fight 119-108, 120-107, and 118-109 in Garcia’s favor. It was a statement performance that cemented his status as one of boxing’s biggest names.

    With the title around his waist and an apparent appetite for stirring the pot, Garcia looks ready to make plenty of noise in 2026 — inside the ring and out.
