• Former UBO International and Continental (Europe) Middleweight champion Dario Morello (22-1, 4 KOs) from Italy continues to do well, as he captured the vacant WBC Mediterranean title last December, defeating 13-1 Joshua Nmomah.

He is already scheduled to defend said title on April 13, against undefeated compatriot Luca Chiancone (9-0-2, 4 KOs). We wish him good luck!

• Current UBO World Super Lightweight champion Nazri Rahimov stayed busy with a routine win in Kiev on January 20, out-scoring Moldovan journeyman Ghenadie Gitlan over eight rounds.

Rahimov, who won the UBO title last August in the first championship fight staged in Ukraine since the Russian invasion, improved his professional record to 13-3 (7).

• UBO world Super Featherweight champion Chaise Nelson (21-2-1, 8 KOs) just cant get enough of fighting, and has just signed a deal with BYB Extreme to also compete as a Bare Knuckle fighter.

Nelson, who became UBO world champion when he beat Venezuelan Nestor Gonzalez in December of last year, will almost certainly also be successful with the gloves off.

• UBO International Super Flyweight titlist Jose Angel Rojas Alba from Mexico improved his misleading professional record to 8-10-4 (1) when he defeated Javier Perez Calderon (2-7) by unanimous decision in a non-title fight on February 3.

Rojas Alba is now undefeated in his last four outings.
