New Zealand fighter Carlos Ulberg has revealed he managed to lose his championship belt following his victory celebration. Ulberg stated he didn't want to carry the belt around with him, so he left it at an apartment. He believes one of his friends is likely sleeping with the belt. The lighthearted admission came after his recent championship win. The belt's exact whereabouts remain unclear.
Carlos Ulberg has admitted he is not entirely sure where his championship belt ended up after the celebrations that followed his title victory.
The New Zealand light heavyweight, fighting out of City Kickboxing, revealed he chose not to carry the belt around with him during the festivities and left it at an apartment. His best guess is that one of his friends has been sleeping with it. The exact location of the hardware remains unaccounted for.
Ulberg, nicknamed "Black Jag," holds a 15-1-0 professional record and is ranked third in the light heavyweight division at 35 years old. Standing six-foot-four with a 77-inch reach, he has built his reputation primarily on his striking, landing 6.54 significant strikes per minute at an accuracy rate of 55 percent — numbers that rank among the most efficient in the division.
Why it matters
- Ulberg's rise to the championship adds significant weight to City Kickboxing's growing legacy as a world-class combat sports gym.
- At 15-1-0 and ranked third at light heavyweight, his title win reshapes the divisional landscape at 205 pounds.
- The misplaced belt story, while lighthearted, underscores the genuine surprise and chaos that can follow a career-defining night.
