Fresh off the biggest win of his career, Carlos Ulberg has revealed he managed to misplace his newly won light heavyweight championship belt during the post-fight celebrations.
The 35-year-old New Zealander, who trains out of City Kickboxing, admitted via social media that he had chosen not to carry the belt with him during the festivities following his title victory. Ulberg now believes the belt is still sitting at the apartment where the party took place, and he jokingly suggested that one of his friends may currently be sleeping with it.
Ulberg, who stands six-foot-four with a 77-inch reach, improved his professional record to 15-1-0 with the championship win. Fighting out of an orthodox stance, he has built his reputation as one of the most dangerous strikers in the light heavyweight division, landing 6.54 significant strikes per minute at a 55 percent accuracy rate. Those numbers place him among the elite finishers at 205 pounds.
Why it matters
- Ulberg is now the light heavyweight champion, capping a run that began with him ranked third in the division
- City Kickboxing adds another world title to its growing collection of championship hardware
- The lighthearted social media moment reflects the personal side of a career milestone for one of New Zealand's top combat sports exports
