Steve Claggett (born June 11, 1989) is a Canadian professional boxer who challenged for the World Boxing Organization (WBO) super-lightweight title in 2024. He has won multiple regional accolades including the NABF and IBF North American super-lightweight titles and the Canadian welterweight championship.

Early life

Claggett has Chinese ancestry through his maternal grandfather. At age 19 he started having trouble with the law which led to boxing to help cope.[1]

Amateur career

Claggett had a successful amateur career with 29 fights and winning the Alberta Provincial Championships and in 2007, the Canadian National Championships.[2]

Professional career

Having made his professional debut in 2008,[1] Claggett won the vacant Canadian welterweight title in his 20th pro-fight by stopping Francesco Cotroni in the sixth round at the Convention Centre in Edmonton on 13 September 2013.[3]

On 9 September 2016, he won the vacant NABA USA super-lightweight title, defeating the previously unbeaten Emanuel Robles via split decision at the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.[4][5]

Claggett won the vacant IBF North American super-lightweight title with a split decision success over another previously undefeated fighter, Yves Ulysse Jr., at MTelus in Montreal on 27 October 2017.[6]

He knocked former world champion Alberto Machado to the canvas three times before the referee stepped in and stopped their fight for the vacant NABF super-lightweight title at Montreal Casino in Montreal on 1 June 2023.[7]

Claggett defeated Miguel Madueno via unanimous decision at Montreal Casino on 14 November 2024, claiming the vacant WBO International super-lightweight title.[8][9]

He challenged WBO super-lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez at the James J. Knight Arena in Miami Beach, Florida, United States, on 29 June 2024, losing by unanimous decision.[10][11]

In his next fight, Claggett got back to winning with a fourth round technical knockout of Eduardo Estela at Lac Leamy Casino in Gatineau on 17 October 2024.[12][13]

After almost 17 months away from the competitive boxing ring due to an injury to his left shoulder, he returned to face Alejandro Frias Rodriguez at Montreal Casino on 5 March 2026, winning via technical knockout in the second round.[14]

Next Claggett took on Adam Azim at Wembley Arena in London, England, on 30 May 2026, suffering the first stoppage defeat of his career when the referee halted the contest in the third round as Claggett came under heavy, unanswered punishment against the ropes having been sent to the canvas in the previous round.[15][16]
