10 MINUTES AGO: World Boxing Federation President Releases Official Statement Condemning John Riel Casimero’s “Cheating Act” Against Naoya Inoue — Fans Left in Shock
Geneva, Switzerland – May 7, 2025 — In a stunning and unprecedented development, the President of the World Boxing Federation (WBF) has issued an official public statement condemning what he referred to as “a blatant act of cheating” by Filipino fighter John Riel Casimero in his recent victory over Japanese boxing icon Naoya Inoue.
The statement, released just 10 minutes ago on the WBF’s verified website and social platforms, accuses Casimero of violating multiple in-ring conduct regulations, including alleged use of illegal tactics, unsanctioned corner behavior, and possible tampering with gloves — shocking fans and sparking outrage across the boxing community.
🗣️ “What occurred during the Casimero vs. Inoue bout brings shame to the sport. The integrity of boxing must be protected, and actions like these cannot be ignored,” the WBF President declared.
The exact details of the alleged cheating were not fully disclosed, but the organization confirmed that a full investigation is underway, and potential disciplinary action, including fines, suspension, or even overturning the fight result, is being discussed.
Fans around the globe reacted with disbelief, especially after Casimero had been widely celebrated for dethroning Inoue in what was seen as a career-defining win. Now, with accusations looming, the legitimacy of that victory hangs in the balance.
Naoya Inoue, who had remained relatively quiet since the fight, has not yet commented publicly on the WBF’s announcement — but insiders say his team has been pushing behind the scenes for the matter to be formally addressed.
Casimero’s camp has firmly denied all wrongdoing, calling the statement “politically motivated and completely false.”
🔥 “Casimero fought clean. He earned that win. This is just damage control for a superstar who couldn’t handle defeat,” one representative told reporters.
As the investigation unfolds, boxing fans are left stunned — and the reputation of one of the sport’s most intense rivalries has been thrown into chaos.
