TERRY WASHINGTON RETAINS NABF TITLE IN SPLIT-DECISION WAR AT NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS XII AT THUNDER STUDIOS **LONG BEACH, CA — May 30, 2026** — DMG Boxing brought the house down last night at Thunder Studios with **Night of Champions XII**, a high-octane evening of professional boxing streamed live worldwide on TrillerTV and DAZN. In a main event that fully delivered on its promise, undefeated NABF Light Flyweight Champion **Terry “Terrible” Washington** (8-0, 6 KOs) survived the toughest test of his career, edging out battle-tested veteran **Axel “Mini” Vega** in a grueling 10-round split-decision war. The judges scored the contest 95-94 and 96-93 for Washington, and 94-95 for Vega.
