Viddal Riley throws a punch at Seydi Coupe during their European cruiserweight title fight at OVO Arena Wembley

Viddal Riley kept his belt and his unbeaten record. The Londoner retained the EBU European cruiserweight title at OVO Arena Wembley on Saturday night, outboxing Seydi Coupe over 12 rounds to win a unanimous decision by scores of 116-112, 117-111 and 119-109.

It was the first defense of the title Riley won against Mateusz Masternak in April, and he controlled it behind his jab. Coupe, a former French champion who came in as the European mandatory challenger at 14-0, had his best moments early, when he could close the distance quickly enough to force Riley to trade. Once Riley settled into his range, he took that option away, keeping the Frenchman at the end of his punches and piling up rounds.

Coupe stayed game to the final bell and snuck in the occasional right uppercut and left hook, but the result was never in doubt when the cards were read. Riley moves to 15-0 with seven knockouts. Coupe takes the first defeat of his career and falls to 14-1.

The win keeps Riley moving toward the world level. He is ranked No. 2 by the IBF at cruiserweight, and his promoter, Kalle Sauerland, has said he will now make the case for Riley to be given his world title shot.

Justin Figueroa lands a right hand on Luis Caraballo Ramos during their middleweight rematch at Tropicana Atlantic City

Justin Figueroa left no doubt this time. “Mr. Atlantic City” settled his rematch with Luis Caraballo Ramos by fourth-round stoppage on Friday night at The Showroom at Tropicana Atlantic City, headlining a seven-fight Boxing Insider Promotions card that produced four stoppages.

The rematch was eight months in the making. The two met in the same ring in March, and that fight ended in a no contest in the third round after an accidental foul left Caraballo Ramos unable to continue. On Friday, Figueroa controlled the scheduled eight-rounder behind his jab, taking over in the third with sharp combinations while Caraballo Ramos stayed aggressive but could not close the gap.

The end came quickly in the fourth. A body shot put Caraballo Ramos down early in the round. He rose, and Figueroa put him down again with a straight right, then a third time with a chopping overhand right, and referee David Franciosi stopped the fight.

“I’d like to take this chance to apologize to absolutely nobody,” Figueroa said afterward. The win moves the Atlantic City native to 15-0 with 12 knockouts. Caraballo Ramos, of Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico, falls to 8-11-1. The card, streamed live and free on the Boxing Insider YouTube channel, was the promotion’s 22nd professional show and its last of 2026.
