Wembley Arena, London, UK. In the second main bout of the show, Briton Jason Cunningham (31-7, 7 KOs) lost the IBF International super bantamweight belt (up to 55.3 kg) in a fight with ex-world champion Zolani Tete (30-4, 23 KOs) from South Africa .
The African is known for a unique record – he is the author of the fastest title victory in boxing history. In 2017 destroyed compatriot Siboniso Gonyu in 11 seconds.
The left-handed fight began at a leisurely pace. There were few aggravations – both were cautious, moved, jabbed. The ex-champion was better at working with the front hand. He regularly hit the opponent’s face, did not give the opportunity to prepare an attack.
In the 4th round, Tete dropped his opponent with a two. He got to his feet, but was greatly shocked. The African rushed to finish off and severely cut down Cunningham.
WOW!
Zolani Tete defeats Jason Cunningham in explosive fashion in the fourth round!

Tete KO 4. There is a comeback!
In lightweight (up to 61.2 kg) British
Mark Chamberlain (11-0, 7 KOs) and Marc Vidal (13-3-5, 5 KOs) from Spain competed for the IBF European Championship belt.
The fight turned out to be one-sided. Already in the opening round, Chamberlain shocked the guest, but he survived. In the course of the fight, Vidal more than once found himself on the verge of early termination, but the referee allowed the brave Spaniard to hear the final gong.
A trifling matter for the judges – three times 100-90.
Chamberlain UD 10.
