The return of Venezuela’s most electrifying blue-chip prospect is locked in. La Guaira’s own Alessangel “El Colmillo de Oro” Mayora is set to face Albanian standout Muhamet Qamili for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) Silver title. The 126-pound showdown will take place on Tuesday, May 19, in Nicosia, Northern Cyprus.
The 10-round featherweight tilt headlines a high-stakes card promoted by Arena Boxing Promotions at the Arkin Iskele Hotel. The undercard is equally heavy-hitting, featuring a heavyweight clash between Mourad Aliev (14-1, 11 KOs) and Raphael Akpejiori (19-2, 18 KOs), alongside undefeated prospect Luis Vela (6-0, 5 KOs) taking on Germany’s Oussma Kebdani (10-1, 3 KOs).
Tale of the Tape: Alessangel Mayora
Hailing from the Montesano neigh borhood of La Guaira, Mayora returns to the squared circle following a nine-month layoff. He was last seen in August 2025, turning in a disciplined performance to secure a majority decision win over Luis Pacheco (17-1) at the iconic Poliedro de Caracas.
Mayora’s 2024–2025 campaign was a rollercoaster of activity. He opened 2025 with a blistering first-round starching of Ghenry Díaz in January. While he suffered a setback on the road in June 2024—dropping a unanimous decision to the undefeated Christ Esabe in France—he bounced back with consecutive stoppage victories over Luis Martínez and Adrián García later that year.
At 24 years old, “El Colmillo” (18-1, 14 KOs) brings legitimate fight-ending equalizer in both hands, boasting a knockout ratio north of 80%. This marks the steepest test of his professional career.
"The die is cast," Mayora shared via Instagram. "We are ready to show the world what we’re made of and bring that belt back home. We’re going with God and without fear."
Scouting Muhamet Qamili
The Albanian-born, Italy-based Qamili enters 2026 battle-tested. He is coming off a grueling run in the WBC Grand Prix in Saudi Arabia, where he stayed busy against top-tier opposition. His 2025 campaign included points victories over Ihor Semonchuk and Holy Dorgbetor, as well as a hard-fought draw against the American Troy Nash.
In the final stages of that tournament, Qamili showcased his versatility by icing Yoni Valverde Jr. in the opening round, before eventually losing his "0" in the final, dropping a competitive unanimous decision to the unbeaten Mexican Brandon Mosqueda.
Qamili (17-1-1, 8 KOs) may lack Mayora’s raw power—sitting at a modest 50% KO rate—but he possesses the superior ring craft and momentum of a man who has been fighting at the international level. For both men, the WBC Silver title is the golden ticket toward a shot at the full world championship.
