Curiel Reigns in San Antonio!
Winning a well waged war, Raul Curiel overpowered Kendo Castaneda with a vicious 7th round body blow, retaining his NABF Welterweight Title.
Both fighters entered the ring with boxing royalty, Freddy Roach with Curiel and Jesse Leijas aside Castaneda. Boxing at its best.
NABF First!
Alfonso Lopez, is the NABF's first Bridgerweight Champion!
On December 4th, in Houston Texas, Alfonso Lopez beat Joxsef Darmos and became the second Bridgerweight Champion in history and the first NABF Bridgerweight Champion!
The title, named after Bridger Walker, a young boy who saved his sister from a deadly attack, was created to protect the safety and wellbeing of fighters who were entering the Heavyweight Division against opponents who outweighed them dispropotionately.
Welcome, Alfonso to the NABF Family.

NABF, Stronger Than Ever! 🥊
This week, NABF President, Duane Ford and the executive board of the NABF came together to reafirm their love of boxing and each other.
It was charming, informative and forward moving. Many issues were discussed and future initiatives planned.
The only thing missing were the amazing family of people who would normally be there, had a convention been possible.
In a crazy world, a moment of love and hope.
Thank you Pesident, Ford.

Président, Duane Ford and the membership of the NABF mourns the passing of Anibal Miramontes, a dear friend and honored boxing official.
Isaac Dogboe
A very happy Isaac Dogboe tweeted out his THANKS to the NABF when he won the NABF Featherweight Title.
Edging out Adam Lopez with a Majority Decision, the fight was aptly described as a 'slugfest'.
This was Dogboe's first fight under veteran trainer, Barry Hunter, as Dogboe moves up to Featherweight, taking home a well fought victory.
