Patricio
Carrion won UBO Continental honours at Super
Lightweight in August of 2025, while Marcial
followed suit, at Welterweight, last November.
Patricio went to the next level, winning the UBO
world title this past February.
And now, on
June 6 at
the
Arena Cavancha
in
his home-town
Iquique,
Marcial (21-1, 6 KOs) will face undefeated
Argentinian Tomas “El Ciclon” Irusta (9-0-2, 3
KOs) for the vacant UBO world Welterweight
title.
While it has
been done several times, although not many, with
other sanctioning bodies, it will be the first
time twins hold UBO world titles at the same
time,
or at all,
should Carrion
be successful.

Fuelled by both
the motivation and pressure of doing what his
brother has already done, Carrion
will be at the
top of his game for what is the biggest night of
his professional career.
Irusta is the
underdog, but he too aims to make a bit of history
as he will be the first from his country to be UBO
world champion if he wins.
As is always the
case when the Carrion twins fight at the Arena
Cavancha, a big crowd is expected for the show
promoted by TC2 Boxing.
