Subriel Matias is undoubtedly MUST WATCH TV! The Puerto Rican Champion recently knocked out previously undefeated Argentinian Jeremias Ponce in a back and forth non-stop action fight for the vacant 140 pound IBF Championship Belt.

On June 3, 2022, the IBF ordered Matías to face Jeremias Ponce for the interim IBF junior welterweight title. On July 7, the sanctioning body instead ordered the unified junior welterweight champion Josh Taylor to make a mandatory title defense against Ponce.[16] Taylor refused the fight on August 24 and officially vacated the belt on that same day. The IBF immediately ordered a vacant championship bout between Matías and Ponce. Although the fight was scheduled to take place on October 15, on the undercard of the Deontay Wilder and Robert Helenius Fox Sports pay-per-view, it was postponed as Ponce was unable to secure a visa in time for the fight. The title bout was re-scheduled for February 11, 2023, before being postponed to February 25. It took place at the Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota and headlined a Showtime broadcast card. Matías won the fight by a fifth-round stoppage, as Ponce's corner decided to retire their fighter at the end of the round. The newly crowned champion was up on the scorecards at the time, with all three judges having scored the bout 48–46 in his favor.
