Years from now when boxing fans are talking about who were some of the greatest UCA fighters, a few factors will have to be considered. A fighters skill level, accomplishments, level of competition and who looked for challenges in other weight divisions. Throughout boxing’s rich history, some of the greatest boxing legends are multi division champions. Names like Ward, Mayweather, De La Hoya, Pacquiao, Chavez and Holyfield are fighters who were able to have success in multi weight divisions. 

The UCA has it’s boxing legends too. Years from now names like Bugarin, Mendoza, and Blevins will have to be in conversations as some of the greatest fighters due to their accomplishments in more than one weight division. On November 16, 2018 the reigning and defending UCA Welterweight Champion Mike Delery, LAPD will look to challenge himself by moving up a weight division to take on 3rd ranked Christian Pharo, San Diego Fire Dept. for the UCA Jr Middleweight Championship title. This will be no easy feat for Delery. Pharo is a naturally bigger fighter, has more experience and has been waiting for his opportunity to show everyone how good he is.  Delery is taking a big risk and could easily stay in his division and dominate for years. However one of the measures of boxing greatness has been whether or not a fighter could have success in more than one weight class. It takes a very special athlete to be able to move up a division, compete at a high level and win a title. Is Mike Delery one of those special athletes?
