Bahamian professional boxer Carl Hield continues to wreak havoc on the professional boxing scene overseas. He had a successful defense of his World Boxing Association’s (WBA) Fedecaribe Super Welterweight and National Boxing Association’s (NBA) Latino Super Welterweight titles at the 2025 Night of Boxing Brawl in Ciènaga, Colombia, last week.
Hield earned a third-round knockout victory against Colombian Saider Vizcaino, improving to an undefeated 13-0-0 record (win/draw/loss) in his professional career.
Hield spoke about how it felt to pull off his latest victory.
“First of all, I wanna give God thanks for guiding and protecting me and leading me in the right direction to keep doing what I like to do best and putting myself in a position to make a legacy for my name,” said Hield. “It was a tougher fighter with more experience than me. The first round started off tough, but at the end of the first round going into the second, I saw that he couldn’t deal with the volume of my punches and the punching power. Instead of boxing and moving, I took the fight to him, and that led to the knockout in the third round.”
With this latest victory, Hield not only retained his titles but also improved his rankings internationally. He is ranked fourth in the super welterweight division in the WBA FedeLatin Rankings, and at number 190 in the world. He is also fourth in the Commonwealth of Nations.
He spoke on what his strategy has been throughout this winning streak.
“When I go into a fight, I just go into the ring to execute my game plan that my coach and I studied in the gym,” he said. “The hard part is to execute the game plan. We don’t go in looking for a knockout, but if the knockout comes it comes. I am always prepared to go to eight rounds, 10 rounds or 12 rounds.”
The professional boxer is now working alongside his management team, R&R Sport Management, to prepare for another title defense and to simultaneously contend for the World Boxing Council’s (WBC) Intercontinental title. He wants to fight on home soil, here in The Bahamas, in November.
He also spoke about his confidence level as he continues his professional boxing journey.
“My confidence really comes from believing in myself, training hard, and I get a lot of confidence from the doubters. Some people will doubt and say I am too old… but with them doubting me it gives me more confidence to prove them wrong, show them that I am here to stay and that they will be hearing my name for a long time,” he said.
Hield, now 39, dedicated his latest victory to his late mother, Norma Hield. He thanked sponsors Rigger Life 242, Beer Pressure, Rollin’ Tyre Imports Limited, and the Strikers Boxing Gym.
