Carlos Ulberg undergoes ACL surgery, could miss up to 12 months

Carlos Ulberg has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), his manager Ash Belcastro confirmed. The surgery was reportedly "very successful," and Ulberg is focused on returning to competition as quickly as possible. Recovery from ACL surgery typically takes up to 12 months, making it uncertain whether Ulberg will compete at all in 2026. The post raises the question of whether an interim title should be introduced during his absence. Ulberg is the current light heavyweight contender following his recent performances.
