CARLOS ADAMES DEFENDS WBC MIDDLEWEIGHT CROWN WITH DOMINANT VICTORY LAST SATURDAY NIGHT
“I truly believe I’m the best middleweight in the world right now. Anyone with a belt, anyone with a name,
I’m ready.”
ORLANDO, FL. – March 23, 2026 – WBC Middleweight World Champion Carlos Adames staked his claim as the king of 160-pounds in dominating fashion this past Saturday, dropping top contender Ammo Williams on his way to earning a unanimous decision victory.
“I said it before the fight…destroy and demolish, and that’s exactly what I did. I didn’t just win, I sent a message to the entire middleweight division. When I sent him down in the second round, I knew the fight was mine. From that moment on, it was about discipline, breaking him down round by round and showing the world my level.
“Respect to Ammo, he’s a warrior and he came to fight. But there are levels in this sport. I showed the difference between a contender and a champion.”
Representing his native Dominican Republic, Adames made his third successful world title defense with the triumph on Saturday night. Back in the ring for the first time since February 2025, Adames proved to be as motivated as ever to show what he can do at 160 pounds and beyond.
“Thirteen months away didn’t slow me down, it made me sharper and more dangerous,” said Adames. “I came back with something to prove, and I proved it in dominant fashion.
“I truly believe I’m the best middleweight in the world right now. Anyone with a belt, anyone with a name, I’m ready. If you’re at 160 and you think you’re the best, even anyone at 168 pounds, come see me. I’m taking over.”
