# Osleys Iglesias Dismisses Carlos Adames Callout: ‘You Don’t Want This Fire, Little Horse’

In a rare turn of events, IBF super middleweight champion [Osleys Iglesias](https://boxing-social.com/news/estephan-claims-no-fighter-has-a-chance-at-beating-osleys-iglesias-at-super-middleweight/) has been called out. However, the offer has not been taken seriously by the Cuban southpaw.

The 28-year-old knockout artist, [who secured the vacant IBF belt with an eighth-round retirement of Pavel Silyagin earlier this month](https://boxing-social.com/news/osleys-iglesias-stops-pavel-silyagin-in-8-rounds-to-capture-ibf-super-middleweight-titles-in-montreal/), has had a public spat with WBC middleweight champion Carlos Adames on X.

Iglesias (15-0, 14 KOs) responded to Adames’ post which said: “I’m one of the best fighters in the world. Nobody at 160 or 168 can beat me.”

The X account of Hassan had responded to the post saying, “Carlos Adames vs Osleys Iglesias at 168!” The post with a picture of both fighters was commented on by Adames saying “I’m ready.”

However, Iglesias returned his own opinion on the potential fight: “This is just a talker,” Iglesias posted on X, quoting the previous post. “I’m ready too. You don’t want this fire, little horse. You’ve got a lot to do in your division, since you’re dodging everyone. And you want to get attention, calling out a real executioner. You’re making me laugh. It’s not the same as calling the tornado.”

> Este es solo un hablador. Yo también estoy listo. Tú no quieres este fuego, caballito. Tienes mucho que hacer en tu división, ya que estás evitando a todos. Y quieres llamar la atención, llamando a un verdadero verdugo. Me estás dando risa. No es lo mismo llamar al tornado. 🌪️ [https://t.co/boPKPpJi1q](https://t.co/boPKPpJi1q)

Adames fired back: “Who are you? What I do up in the ring backs up what I say down here. Whenever you want, I’m ready for you to prove it to you. What fire? I’ve got a fire extinguisher.”

Adames (25-1-1, 18 KOs) was elevated to WBC world champion in May 2024. The Dominican has since defended his title against Terrell Gausha, Hamzah Sheeraz and Austin Williams. [The 31-year-old has recently expressed an ambition to move up in weight](https://boxing-social.com/news/carlos-adames-targets-middleweight-supremacy-anyone-with-a-belt-anyone-with-a-name-im-ready/) following his latest victory, dropping Williams on way to a unanimous decision in Las Vegas last month.

Iglesias has struggled to find opponents, even for a vacant world title shot. Silyagin took the call after multiple challengers ranked in the top ten by the IBF turned the opportunity down.
