Prince Patel has moved up to 154 pounds, and so far the only word on how it went comes from the fighter himself. According to World Boxing News, he says he won in the fifth round in India despite difficult weather and ring conditions. The opponent has not been named, and the fight has not been listed on BoxRec.
The move continues an unusual climb through the weight classes. Patel, 33, turned professional at around 110 pounds. After taking the IBO bantamweight title in December 2023, he weighed 141 pounds by June 2024 and 146 pounds two months later for a fight in Zanzibar.
His belts come from Europe, Africa and Asia. They include the Commonwealth super flyweight title, WBO Global and WBO Africa honors, and the IBO bantamweight title, which he won by knocking out Aliu Bamidele Lasisi in six rounds in Ghana. The IBO is not one of the four major sanctioning bodies, and the Pacquiao comparison WBN draws holds only for the weight range, not the résumé.
Patel left the British scene after a controversial split with promoter Frank Warren in 2016. He also proclaimed himself India's first professional boxing world champion after the IBO win, a claim tied to his Indian heritage.
Before this fight, his last recorded contest was a fifth-round stoppage of Yahaya Mussa in Bangkok on Jan. 31, 2026, at 140 pounds, for the WBA Asia Gold super lightweight title. That win left him at 34 wins, one defeat and two draws, with 29 knockouts, according to WBN.
What to watch for: the BoxRec listing, which would confirm the opponent, the weight and the stoppage, and whatever Patel announces next at 154 pounds.
