Super Welterweight Boxing: Top Fighters to Watch in 2025

Callum Walsh

Undefeated Callum Walsh (12-0, 10 KOs) is a rising star in the super welterweight division trained by the legendary Freddie Roach and managed by Tom Loeffler. “King” throws with plenty of venom and is an impressive body puncher. He doesn’t rush his work and picks his shots well. The 23-year-old is due to fight on March 16 against an opponent TBA. 2025 needs to be a big year for the Cork native.

Yoenis Tellez

Yoenis Tellez (9-0, 7 KOs) is an undefeated Cuban prospect fighting under the Most Valuable Promotions banner. He has impressed greatly whenever he has performed. When you watch Tellez fight, the accuracy and power of his punches stand out. His devastating third-round TKO win over the experienced Sergio Garcia made people stand up and take notice of this exciting Cuban. His three wins since then have only enhanced his burgeoning reputation.

Charles Conwell

Charles Conwell (21-0, 16 KOs) is an undefeated fighter signed to Golden Boy Promotions. Many within the boxing world know what a problem Conwell can be for the top fighters in the division. He is an in your face fighter who packs a punch. After a frustrating 2023 with no fights, the Detroit active returned in 2024 with three wins including a stoppage victory over the previously undefeated Gerardo Luis Vergara. Conwell has recently spoken about a potential bout against stablemate Vergil Ortiz Jr.: “I think I’m overall a better fighter, but I think it’d be a good fight,” Conwell said.

Xander Zayas

Xander Zayas (20-0, 12 KOs) fought twice in 2024, with comfortable wins against Patrick Teixeira and Damian Sosa. It remains to be seen if Zayas possesses the power to trouble the divisions best, but he has showcased an impressive arsenal of skills thus far. In his two fights this year, he has shown an ability to control the distance and mix his shots well. 2025 will be a vital year for the 22-year-old Puerto Rican who will be eager to reach the next level in the super welterweight division.

Ardreal Holmes Jr.

Ardreal Holmes Jr. (17-0, 6 KOs) is a 30-year-old southpaw from Flint, Michigan. After three wins in 2024, the effective southpaw will be eager to have a breakthrough year in 2025. The Flint native is promoted by Salita Promotions and managed by Split-T Management. While not a knockout artist, Holmes is incredibly accurate with his punches and does not waste much when he fights. A top-10 opponent looks set to be next for “Bossman” who will be eager to show the world his talent.
