Biography
Patrick Alen Teixeira, born on December 5, 1990, in Sombrio, Santa Catarina, Brazil, is a professional boxer who held the WBO light middleweight title from 2019 to February 2021. Teixeira turned professional in 2009, amassing an impressive record by winning his first 25 fights. This streak led to a significant bout against Curtis Stevens on May 7, 2016, where he suffered his first professional loss via a second-round stoppage.
Undeterred, Teixeira continued his career and on November 30, 2019, he faced Carlos Adames for the WBO interim light middleweight title. Despite being the underdog, Teixeira secured a unanimous decision victory, a win bolstered by a knockdown of Adames in the seventh round. Following this victory, he was elevated to full WBO light middleweight champion after Jaime Munguía moved up to the middleweight division. His title reign ended on February 13, 2021, when he lost to Brian Castaño via unanimous decision. Teixeira’s most recent fight occurred on June 8, 2024, against Xander Zayas at Madison Square Garden in New York, where he lost by unanimous decision after ten rounds.
Growing up in Brazil, a nation renowned for its rich sporting culture, particularly in soccer and combat sports, Teixeira’s environment played a significant role in shaping his boxing career. The country’s emphasis on resilience and determination is evident in Teixeira’s fighting style and career trajectory. His rise to become the fifth Brazilian to hold a world title in one of boxing’s major organizations has contributed to the sport’s visibility in Brazil, inspiring a new generation of boxers.
