- Wilder knocked out by Zhang in likely final pro fight
- Dubois stops Hrgović by TKO for interim heavyweight title
- Liverpool’s Ball becomes WBA featherweight champion
Round 1
There’s the bell! Dubois, looking drier than you normally see fighters right before the first round, gets off to a positive start. He’s holding the center of the ring early and boxing behind a solid jab. Hrgović lands a crisp right cross. Then another. Oh boy. He’s punishing Dubois with the right hand, landing one after the other, turning his aggressive against him. Hrgović has landed no fewer than a half-dozen flush right hands in the first two minutes. Dubois holds on, showing indications of fatigue already.
