Jonathan Correa is back — and back in the win column.
After more than two years away from the Power Slap stage, Correa returned on a live show at Power Slap 18 and delivered a composed, hard-earned performance against Jordan Oasis, one of the division’s most talked-about rising names.
It wasn’t perfect. It wasn’t quiet. But it was exactly the kind of comeback Correa needed.
And when the judges’ scores came in, they gave him all three rounds.
Jonathan Correa Ends His Long Layoff With a Big Win
For Correa, this wasn’t just another fight.
This was the payoff for years of belief, patience, and work behind the scenes.
“First of all, I want to thank God and my family behind this, my girlfriend… and we just put in the hard work and execute.”
Against a dangerous opponent with momentum and buzz on his side, Correa stayed steady, trusted his preparation, and got the job done.
That alone was a major statement in the heavyweight division.
A Live-Show Debut, a Dangerous Opponent, and No Lost Belief
Jordan Oasis came into the bout with real hype behind him. He had momentum, visibility, and the kind of attention that can quickly turn a prospect into a problem.
Correa came in with something different: faith in the process.
Even after being away from the sport for more than two years, he believed this moment would come.
And once it did, he made it count.
“I think my hard work paid off, most definitely.”
Judges Give Correa All Three Rounds
One of the biggest takeaways from the result was how clearly the fight was scored.
Correa revealed afterward that he was told the judges gave him all three rounds, a sign that his comeback wasn’t just emotional — it was effective.
Still, he wasn’t satisfied.
Even in victory, Correa was already talking about the next adjustments.
“There’s still a little bit of certain tweaks that I gotta fix… coming back better is my motivation.”
That kind of mindset matters. He got the win, but he’s already thinking like a contender trying to level up.
Correa Clarifies His Training Camp and Shouts Out Lewis Robertson
Ahead of the fight, there had been talk about help from the Brazilian “Grasshopper” on the defensive side.
But Correa clarified after the win that the connection was no longer current.
“I haven’t talked to him in over a year.”
Instead, he credited work with people from Ireland and the UK, specifically shouting out Lewis Robertson for helping tighten his slap mechanics.
That matters, because Correa looked more settled and more intentional in this performance than he had in previous appearances.
What’s Next for Jonathan Correa?
The heavyweight division is crowded, dangerous, and deeper than ever.
Correa knows that.
But after a comeback win like this, he isn’t calling out one specific name. He’s keeping the message broad and direct:
“Anybody could come and get it.”
That’s the right attitude for a division filled with matchups.
And Correa made one other point loud and clear:
“This is my comeback.”
After three years away, he’s not treating this as a one-off. He’s treating it like a restart.
Jonathan Correa’s Comeback Just Got Real
Power Slap 18 gave Jonathan Correa a chance to remind people who he is.
He came back on a live stage.
He beat a dangerous, rising opponent.
He won all three rounds on the scorecards.
And he left with momentum.
Now the division has to deal with a version of Correa that’s more experienced, more grounded, and still hungry to improve.
That makes him dangerous.
Jonathan Correa is back — and he’s already looking for the next one.
