Venezuelan boxer Josber Perez has challenged for major titles at flyweight and super flyweight, and fought Samuel Carmona for the WBA Intercontinental flyweight title in 2026.
Boxing career and major results
Perez challenged Artem Dalakian for the WBA flyweight championship in Kyiv on February 8, 2020. The WBA’s report says Dalakian won by unanimous decision. Perez later moved up to super flyweight.
On December 31, 2023, Perez challenged Kazuto Ioka for the WBA super flyweight title in Tokyo. Ioka stopped him in the seventh round at 2:44, according to Boxing News (Japan); the WBA also records the result in its resolution concerning Ioka’s special permit request.
Perez returned to a title fight on August 15, 2026, facing Samuel Carmona for the WBA Intercontinental flyweight belt. Carmona won by unanimous decision, as recorded by the WBA’s score analysis. TyC Sports’ report listed Perez at 24 wins and 5 losses after the bout.
Those results document Perez’s challenges across two weight divisions and his later bid for an international title.
Perez’s three highlighted title bids ended in two decision defeats and one stoppage defeat: a unanimous decision against Dalakian, a seventh-round stoppage by Ioka, and another unanimous decision against Carmona. The bouts also span flyweight and super flyweight, making the division changes part of the record rather than a footnote. Carmona’s 2026 win came in an Intercontinental title contest.
