LAS VEGAS — While the Philippines has historically dominated the flyweight and bantamweight divisions, a new giant is emerging in the Middleweight ranks. Weljon “The Triggerman” Mindoro is currently sending shockwaves through the boxing world, maintaining a perfect knockout record that has promoters and fans calling him the most dangerous man at 160 pounds.
The 100% Knockout King
In a sport where tactical decisions often go to the judges’ scorecards, Mindoro refuses to leave his fate in anyone else’s hands. With a professional record of 15 wins and 15 knockouts, Mindoro has ended every single victory by stoppage.
His explosive power was on full display recently in Dubai, where he claimed the IBA Asian Middleweight Championship. Facing the tough Australian Joel Camilleri, Mindoro showed elite poise before unleashing a barrage of power punches that forced the referee to wave off the fight in the 4th round.
The Pacquiao Endorsement
It is no coincidence that Mindoro is being guided by MP Promotions. Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao has been a vocal supporter of the young puncher, often seen ringside during his major bouts.
“He has the hunger. He has the power. But most importantly, he has the discipline,” Pacquiao said of Mindoro. Under the management of Sean Gibbons, Mindoro has transitioned from a local prospect to a global contender, recently making a massive impact in the United States with dominant performances on ProBox TV.
Bridging the Gap: Professionalism and National Pride
2025 has been a busy year for Mindoro. Not only has he defended his undefeated professional status, but he also stepped up to represent the Philippines in the 33rd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games. This rare crossover between professional and amateur ranks has solidified his status as a national hero in his home country.
What’s Next for the Triggerman?
Ranked highly by the WBO and IBA, Mindoro is now looking toward the elite names in the division. Rumors are swirling of a potential showdown with top-tier contenders in early 2026. If he continues his current trajectory, Mindoro could become the first Filipino in nearly a century to capture a major Middleweight World Title.
