Carlos Ulberg has revealed he misplaced his championship belt in the aftermath of his title-winning celebration, admitting the night got away from him following the biggest victory of his career.
The New Zealand light heavyweight, who competes out of the renowned City Kickboxing gym, explained that he deliberately chose not to carry the belt around with him during the party. He believes it is still sitting at the apartment where the festivities took place, and joked that one of his friends is probably curled up asleep with it.
Ulberg, nicknamed "Black Jag," carries a record of 15 wins and one loss at 35 years of age. Standing six-foot-four with a 77-inch reach, he is one of the more physically imposing fighters in the light heavyweight division, where he is currently ranked third. His striking output of 6.54 significant strikes landed per minute at 55 percent accuracy underlines why his stand-up game has drawn attention throughout his rise in the division.
Why it matters
- Ulberg's relaxed, humorous reaction to misplacing the belt reflects the celebratory mood following a landmark moment in his career.
- As the newly crowned light heavyweight champion ranked third in the division, his title win carries significant weight for the 205-pound landscape.
- City Kickboxing continues to produce champions, and Ulberg's coronation adds another high-profile piece of hardware to the gym's collection.
The lighthearted admission speaks to the genuine surprise and joy of the occasion. Wherever the belt ended up after the party, Ulberg does not appear too concerned about tracking it down just yet.
