Abraham Nova (born January 14, 1994) is a Puerto Rican-born American professional boxer who has held the WBA-NABA super featherweight title since 2018.
Early life
Abraham Nova was born on January 14, 1994 in Carolina, Puerto Rico,[3] to Dominican parents. He moved to the U.S. with his parents and nine siblings when he was an infant, with all twelve family members living in a two-bedroom apartment in Albany, New York. He began boxing at the age of 12, going on to compile an amateur record of 167–111 before turning professional.[4]
Professional career
Nova made his professional debut on April 29, 2016, scoring a first-round technical knockout (TKO) victory over Weusi Johnson at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, New Jersey.[5]
After compiling a record of 12–0 (10 KOs) he faced Sulaiman Segawa for the vacant WBA-NABA super featherweight title on November 18, 2018 at the Royale Nightclub in Boston, Massachusetts. Nova defeated Sulaiman via unanimous decision (UD) to capture his first professional title, with one judge scoring the bout 97–93 and the other two scoring it 96–93.[6] After two wins in non-title fights – a UD against Brian Pelaez in December 2018[7] and a TKO against Mario Lozano in May 2019[8] – he made the first defence of his WBA-NABA title against Luis Castillo on August 23, 2019 at the Encore Boston Harbor in Everett, Massachusetts. With less than 30 seconds remaining in the first round, Nova landed a left-jab right-hand combination to drop Castillo to the canvas. Castillo was unable to make it to his feet before the referee's count of ten, awarding Nova a first-round knockout (KO) victory.[9]
