Wembley Arena, London, England. As part of the show, the local light heavyweight prospect (up to 79.4 kg) and the winner of the Youth Olympic Games Karol Itauma (9-1, 7 KOs) sensationally knocked out the 36-year-old gatekeeper from Argentina, Ezequile Maderne (29-10, 19 KOs). The vacant WBC International belt was at stake.
Left-hander Itauma from the starting gong looked slurred. He tried to work because of the jab, but every now and then he yawned the right straights and crosses of the veteran. In the 4th round, another double from Maderna shook the favorite, but he stayed on his feet.
And already in the next three minutes, Itauma fell and waited for the referee to count to ten. Fantasy!
A huge shock at Wembley as the previously undefeated Karol Itauma is stopped by the experienced Ezequiel Maderna
