In the final round, the fight was momentarily halted due to an accidental headbutt, leading to a spectacular and action-packed finish.

Australia's Dylan Biggs (17-1) took a unanimous decision victory over France's Lancelot De la Chapelle (17-2-2) and advanced to the final against Derek Pomerleau. Biggs displayed more power in his punches throughout most of the fight, which put him ahead on the scorecards in the early rounds. By the fifth round, all the judges had him as the winner.

Unfortunately for him, he couldn't catch him on the scorecards, and Biggs claimed the victory by unanimous decision.

Colombia's Carlos Utria (13-0) scored a technical knockout in just one round against South Africa's Ntethelelo Nkosi (10-3).

At that point, Utria went all out and began to punish the South African against the ropes. The referee was slow to stop the fight, but eventually intervened.

In the first round, Bekizizwe Maitse of South Africa did his job, keeping Brandon Mejia of Mexico at a distance. But by the second round, Mejía adjusted and began landing power shots. Most of the judges had the fight even but in the third, everything changed, and the fight began to lean in favor of the Mexican. In the fifth round, a hook to the liver brought Maitse to his knees.
