Rising Star Zaquin “Zaybop” Moses: “I’m the Best Prospect in Boxing!”
Zaquin Moses recently made headlines, confidently declaring, “I’m enjoying it, I’m having fun under the lights. I feel like I’m the best prospect in boxing!” His self-belief isn’t just talk—it’s backed by a decorated track record and a fast-rising professional career.
🏆 Amateur Roots
Moses emerged as a three-time national amateur champion, showcasing elite skills early in his career . Among his standout wins was a split decision over highly rated prospect Curmel Moton at the 2023 national championships . A southpaw known for a dynamic jab-then-power approach and quick hands, he used range effectively and demonstrated solid fundamentals.
🥇 Pro Career Highlights
1. Professional Debut – November 9, 2024 – Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia
Faced Michael Ruiz on the Jaron “Boots” Ennis vs. Karen Chukhadzhian II undercard. Moses dominated all four rounds, landing crisp southpaw jabs and counters, earning a unanimous decision victory (40–36) . Post-fight, he credited his cousin, WBC lightweight world champion Shakur Stevenson, for helping him “stay focused and have fun” .
2. Second Pro Fight – January 25, 2025 – The Cosmopolitan Ballroom, Las Vegas
Headlined the undercard of Diego Pacheco vs. Steven Nelson. Calvinized his professional record with a first-round stoppage (corner retirement) of Mario Garcia .
3. Third Pro Fight – April 12, 2025 – Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City
Again on the Ennis–Stanionis card, Moses faced Alex Pallette. Once again, he asserted dominance with a second-round knockout .
Current pro record: 3–0 (2 KOs), undefeated at 20 years old, capitalizing on momentum with decisive victories.
Zaquin is more than hype. His amateur pedigree, including multiple national titles and big wins like Moton, laid a strong technical foundation. His early pro fights—a dominant decision followed by back-to-back KO finishes—are building valuable experience and hype.
At just 20, he’s got youth, elite training (including guidance from Stevenson), and the quick hands and southpaw finesse that draw attention. That combination places him in rare company and justifies why he feels like “the best prospect in boxing.”
Zaquin Moses is staking a claim. With amateur success, pro momentum, and lineage in elite company, his confidence is well-supported.
Expect his next fights to test his adaptability and step him toward 6- or 8-round contests before title-level bouts.
