Nicklaus Flaz vs Delante Johnson

Rising Puerto Rican contender Nicklaus Flaz takes on Cleveland’s Delante “Tiger” Johnson in a high-stakes welterweight bout on November 8, 2025. Both fighters are part of boxing’s new wave of prospects looking to make a statement and move closer to title contention. Flaz (record around 13–1, 9 KOs) has been on a strong run since his only career defeat, using his aggressive, front-foot style and powerful body shots to wear down opponents. Fighting out of Puerto Rico, he carries both the pressure and pride of representing a passionate boxing nation known for producing elite champions. Johnson (record around 12–0, 6 KOs), a 2020 U.S. Olympian, has been developing steadily under the Matchroom banner. Known for his sharp jab, excellent ring IQ, and disciplined combinations, “Tiger” has faced improving opposition with each fight. This matchup marks one of his toughest tests yet against a physically strong and offensively minded opponent. The clash of styles should make for compelling action: Flaz’s power and pressure against Johnson’s technical precision and counterpunching. A win for Johnson would strengthen his case for a regional or world ranking fight in 2026, while Flaz could claim his biggest career scalp and break into the top 15 with an upset.
