Joshua Wahab knocked out by Mark Chamberlain
Joshua Oluwaseun Wahab was easily dispatched by Mark Chamberlain at the Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk undercard.
Before facing the Brit on Saturday night, Wahab had a 25-fight career (23-2) record and had never even been knocked down.
However, in the first round, Chamberlain, also known as "Thunder," decked Wahab with a lightning-fast left hand.
Wahab deserves some credit for getting back up, but a sudden flurry knocked him down again so fast that he collapsed into the bottom rope, unconscious.
Claiming to be His Excellency Turki Alalshikh's preferred fighter, Chamberlain advances to 16-0 in his professional career with 12 knockouts.
The Portsmouth puncher earned a top 10 position with the major governing organization at lightweight and the WBC "silver" trinket belt as a consequence.
