Reginaldo Martins Carvalho: Brazilian Boxing Career
Brazilian boxer Reginaldo Martins Carvalho fought professionally across several lower-weight divisions. His record lists 40 bouts from 1997 to 2017, ending with 20 wins, 19 losses, and one draw; 12 of his wins came by knockout, according to Boxerlist.
One of Carvalho’s notable bouts came on October 11, 2008, when he challenged Roberto Domingo “Incho” Sosa for the WBA Fedelatin super flyweight title in Argentina. Sosa won by first-round technical knockout. The WBA’s record for Sosa and Carvalho’s bout ledger list the fight and result.
Carvalho’s final listed fight was in December 2017 against Michel Da Silva. BoxRec’s event record says Da Silva knocked him out 58 seconds into the first round, with Carvalho entering the bout at 20–18 and 12 knockouts. Boxerlist’s career ledger records the result and his 20–19–1 final tally.
Early bouts and international challenges
Carvalho began his professional career with a four-round win over Jose De Paula in Guaruja on June 19, 1997. His early schedule included repeated meetings with Jose Carlos Amaral and a victory over Juan Carlos Riviero in Argentina. Those bouts established a career that combined Brazilian appearances with trips abroad.
On March 6, 2004, he challenged Omar Narvaez for the WBO flyweight championship in Buenos Aires, losing by third-round stoppage. The following year brought a challenge against Giuseppe Laganà for the vacant WBO Inter-Continental light-flyweight title in Italy. Sport & Note’s historical ledger records those fights and their championship stakes.
His record also includes appearances in Spain, France, Peru and Chile. That varied itinerary places the Sosa contest within a broader international career, spanning lighter divisions and several regional title opportunities alongside his domestic bouts.
