Ángel Raymond Morejón won the WBC Silver bridgerweight belt by stopping Willy Kyakonye in the third round in Amsterdam. The sanctioning body’s report, published on October 13, places the stoppage at 1:08 of the round at Koninklijk Theater Carré.
The Cuban boxer, based in Italy, moved to 13 wins without defeat, including ten stoppages, according to the official account. Kyakonye’s corner intervened to end the contest. The victory is a meaningful career step, but the exact title matters: Silver is not the same designation as the division’s full world championship.
Read the complete title, not just the belt
In boxing, a word attached to a championship can change its meaning. World, interim, Silver and regional titles are not interchangeable labels. Record the sanctioning body, weight class and title type rather than reducing every belt to world champion.
The result also does not independently announce a mandatory fight against a particular opponent. That requires subsequent decisions or documentation. A win can improve a boxer’s sporting and commercial position without establishing that his next contest has already been signed.
What Morejón’s record establishes
Ten stoppages across thirteen wins represent approximately 76.9% of his victories. This is a description of the reported record, not the probability of a knockout in his next bout. Sample size, opponent quality and the duration of contests also matter when comparing fighters.
Readers who mainly follow Mexican boxing should identify the division carefully before comparing it with cruiserweight or heavyweight. Rankings, weight classes and title designations must be read under the relevant organization’s rules; different lists do not always use an identical map.
The next useful information will be a confirmed defense or opponent, including venue, agreed weight and conditions. Until then, the established result is precise: Morejón ended the fight in three rounds and added a Silver title. Preserving that distinction values the victory without turning it into a different championship from the one actually won.
