Italian Olympian Guido Vianello registered a pivotal victory against Arslanbek Makhmudov via an eighth-round TKO in Quebec City, Canada. The fight was stopped by the ringside doctor due to significant swelling around Makhmudov's left eye, which began in the third round and impaired his vision. Vianello's superior speed and tactical prowess allowed him to dominate the slower Makhmudov throughout the match. Meanwhile, Christian Mbilli continued his ascent in the super middleweight division with a dominant points victory over Sergiy Derevyanchenko, overcoming Derevyanchenko's tough resistance despite the Ukrainian suffering a left bicep injury. Mbilli outlanded Derevyanchenko in power punches and maintained his unbeaten record. Both fights were part of the same event at the Centre Videotron.
