El Tornado Wants the Winner: Osleys Iglesias Calls Out Canelo–M'billi After Stopping Zaren
REPORTED · Rumor-Meter: COLD 🔵
The IBF super-middleweight champ didn't wait for the ring to clear before calling his next shot.
The facts. Osleys Iglesias (16-0, 15 KOs) stopped previously unbeaten Oliver Zaren in the seventh round in Quebec on Thursday, Oct 8. Zaren's trainer, Mikkel Kessler, pulled him out. (Boxing News, Oct 9) Then came the callout: "I hope the winner [of Canelo-Mbilli] faces me. I'd like my next fight to be a unification." (Boxing News)

The target. Christian M'billi defends the WBC title against Canelo Alvarez on Oct 31 in Riyadh. (Boxing News) A spicy footnote: M'billi and Iglesias are both on Eye of the Tiger's roster. (EOTTM) That could make a stablemate showdown easier to build, or a lot more awkward.
Whisperer's take: It's a one-fighter callout with no talks and a winner not yet decided, so it's textbook COLD. But a 16-0 southpaw with 15 knockouts doesn't stay in the waiting room for long. 🌪️
