Eko Essuman (20-1, 8 KOs), fighting for Great Britain, created a huge sensation at the boxing night in Birmingham. In the ring of the Resorts World Arena, the 35-year-old native of Botswana inflicted the first defeat of his career on the WBO European welterweight champion Owen Cooper (10-1, 4 KOs).
The fight was enchanting. Already in the 6th round, Cooper could not withstand the pressure of his compatriot and was forced to take a knee. By the 9th three minutes, he was able to recover and knock Essuman out with a powerful punch to the jaw.
However, instead of building on his success, Owen missed a fatal hook in the 10th round. Cooper staggered back. Esuman rushed in for the kill and knocked out the champion with a few punches.
As OBOZ.UA reported earlier, a video of a fight in Broadmeadow (Australia) between local boxers Brandon Rook (2-0, 1 KO) and Liam Talivaa (5-1, 2 KO) went viral. The fight itself took place in the fall of 2023, but in the summer of 2024, the video of the fight took on a new life, garnering one and a half million views.
Gracie got up from the knockdown and won the fight with a brutal knockout, which was dubbed the knockout of the year.
