Santo Domingo. – Dominican boxer Carlos “Caballo Bronco” Adames will defend his world middleweight title (160 pounds), endorsed by the World Boxing Council (WBC), against American Austin “Ammo” Williams on January 31 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

His first defense as regular monarch was against Terrell Gausha, whom he defeated by unanimous decision. Subsequently, he drew in Saudi Arabia against the British Hamzah Sheeraz, in a fight that many considered favorable to the Dominican.

The Adames vs. Williams clash will be part of the “The Ring 6” card, which will be headlined by the fight between Teófimo López and Shakur Stevenson.

Adames, who hasn’t fought since February 2025, has a professional record of 24 wins, 18 by knockout, one draw, and one loss. Austin Williams, for his part, has a record of 19 wins, 13 by way of knockout, and one loss.
