The biggest weaker boxing wins
Published

World Boxing News presents one of the most memorable victories of the weaker in the history of boxing.
Every sport with one man with another will have more thrilling threads than team sport.
People become more emotionally invested in weaker when they face the challenge. Especially when all clever money says he is going to be badly knocked out.
Even tomato cans that occupy a career, getting up to be knocked down by the title of hope on the way to the top, have their fans who live in the hope that one day they will overcome the chances and win.
Almost all the biggest boxing stars were weaker at some point in their careers or lost to the weaker.
Here are some of our best types for the biggest wins weaker in boxing.
Burster Douglas vs Mike Tyson (1990)
When Buster Douglas entered the ring to face Mike Tyson, no one expected that he would come back at the end of the fight as a heavyweight master WBA, WBC and IBF, but that’s what happened. The fight is considered one of the biggest threads in the history of boxing.
Tyson entered the fight as an invincible heavyweight master and was recognized as a pound of the world in the world as a pound.
Douglas also had a good record at 29-4-1, but the chances of winning were still 42-1.
Douglas dominated most of the early rounds, and Tyson looked slower than usual and indefinite.
In the eighth round Tyson managed to knock down Douglas and was almost counted.
However, in the last round Douglas landed in a solid upper one, who first knocked down Tyson in his career.
Muhammad Ali vs Sonny Liston (1964)
This fight is another claimant for the greatest nervousness in the history of boxing. Sonny Liston was the world champion in weighty weight that was fighting.
He won the title after defeating Floyd Patterson in a knockout in the first round, which showed his dominance.
Muhammad Ali was a younger warrior, but he had already impressed. He spent the weeks preceding the Poston Up match, hoping that he would be too bad at Sassy Teenage Fighter, who will fight the best.
This is what happened. After six penalty rounds, the poston spat out his position and confessed to the defeat.
His arm was essentially paralyzed and it didn’t make sense. At this point, Ali began his first rule as a world champion in weighty weight.
The rematch between Ali and Poston from 1965 also ended the victory for Ali, although this match was so one -sided and so quickly that many suspected that it was a constant fight.
The suspicious death of Listona just a few years later adds support for this theory because he was probably murdered.
Hasim Rahman vs Lennox Lewis (2001)
In the lack of a defense of the Lennox Lewis title against Hasim Rahman, in South Africa.
The fight was settled as “thunder in Africa.” Everyone expected Lewis to bring most of the thunder – it would be his fourth defense of the title, and he was prepared to fight Mike Tyson in the same year.
Lewis should treat the fight and his opponent a bit more seriously. He did not train at height, even though there are 5000 feet above sea level and came to southern Africa only a few days before the fight.
On the other hand, Hasim Rahman gave himself almost a month in South Africa to adapt.
Despite this, the first four rounds were close, and each warrior held his own. At the end of the fourth round, Rahman gained an advantage over feeble Lewis.
Lennox tried to throw a blow to the fifth round. However, when he came to an end, Rahman successfully knocked out the master and won the title.
It was a brief time as a master. In November of the same year, Rahman again faced Lennox in a rematch.
Lewis won with Nokaut in the fourth round and regained his titles. Sometimes the weaker time at the top is very brief.
Corrie Sanders vs Vladimir Klitschko (2003)
Vladimir “Dr. Steelhammer” Klitschko and Corrie “The Sniper” Sanders met in a match settled as “the next great thing”.
Klitschko was the prevailing heavyweight champion WBO, and Sanders was rated in 11th place.
However, no matter how weaker it can be, Southpaw always has a decent chance of nervous about the orthodox boxer.
This is what happened here.
Sanders did not spend much time in the ring since the defeat with Rahman in 2001, but Klitschko was still able to knock down in the second round.
Muhammad Ali vs George Foreman (1974)
Even people who do not follow boxing have heard of wood in the jungle, the eminent name that entered pop culture.
It was the showdown between the prevailing WBA champion and the heavyweight champion WBC George Foreman and Muhammad Ali was to show Foreman’s talents.
Instead, she became the first fight in which Ali demonstrated his rope-a-dope technique. He allowed his opponent to fight early so that Ali could easily enter with a knockout and end him.
Foreman was a younger man and a fierce warrior, but Ali had experience on his side. After a few rounds of Ali, who allows the brigns to bother, Ali attacked seriously during the eighth round.
He made Foreman a combination of a five -arms, ending one of the most crucial boxing wins in history.

Shakur Stevenson expects the former champion to defeat Tim Tszyu

Despite concerns about Errol’s long three-year absence from the ring, Shakur believes the former unified welterweight champion still has what it takes to beat Tszyu.
“I think so [Spence] I will do well. I wish Errol all the best; I hope Errol goes in there and beats up Tim Tszyu,” Shakur said on Andre Ward’s channel.
“I’m an Errol Spence fan; Errol Spence was OK before [Terence Crawford] fight. I know Errol is mentally robust. Errol is a dog when it comes to fighting, so I don’t think Tim Tszyu can beat him.
Spence has not fought since a ninth-round loss to Crawford in July 2023 that cost him the WBC, WBA and IBF welterweight titles. After almost three years of break from competition, the 36-year-old is now trying to resume his career in a fresh weight class.
Meanwhile, Tszyu enters the fight with regained momentum after a arduous period in 2024. The former WBO junior middleweight champion bounced back from setbacks to Sebastian Fundora and Bakhram Murtazaliev with back-to-back victories to get back into position for his next marquee fight.
Shakur has previously expressed confidence in Spence’s chances against Tszyu, but his latest comments suggest he remains confident that the Texan’s experience, mentality and overall ability will be the deciding factor on July 25.
The fight will be one of the biggest tests of Spence’s career. While Tszyu is looking to secure a spectacular win that could redefine his position in the junior middleweight division, Errol will be looking to show that he can still compete at the highest level after an extended period of inactivity.

Shawn Porter Names David Benavidez’s Toughest Test: ‘He’s a Machine’

Shawn Porter believes David Benavidez’s toughest assignment could come between the cruiserweight and lithe heavyweight divisions, against a former world champion with tremendous power.
Although the “Mexican Monster” has hinted at a possible move to heavyweight, it is more likely that he will stay at 200 pounds or drop back to 175 pounds for his next fight.
His last meeting with Gilberto Ramirez ended in a sixth-round stoppage, which made him a three-division world champion last month, winning the WBO and WBA titles.
Benavidez has since been named the mandatory challenger for the WBC title, putting him in line for a potential unification fight with cruiserweight champion Noel Mikaelian.
At the same time, the 29-year-old expressed interest in fighting Jai Opetaia, considered the No. 1 fighter in the cruiserweight division, while considering a return to lithe heavyweight, where he still holds the WBC title.
It would only be a desire to fight Dmitry Bivol or Artur Beterbiev, who could alternatively join the rubber match for Bivol’s IBF, WBO and WBA titles.
Beterbiev hasn’t fought since their rematch, that is Bivol won by majority decision in February 2025 and is certainly nearing the end of his career.
Former world champion Porter, however, went on to say his YouTube channel that he thinks the 41-year-old knockout could still cause problems for Benavidez.
“In the case of Beterbiev, there is this power. [Even now]it’s still a machine. Of all these players, I trust Beterbiev’s power to test Benavidez more than anything else.
“Bivol has amazing skills. For me, Opetaia [is] he is not experienced enough.”
Most believe that Bivol and Opetaia pose a greater threat to Benavidez’s unbeaten record, given that Beterbiev has a history of injuries and is perhaps even more out of shape.

John Fury says Oleksandr Usyk deserves more recognition after his fight with Rico Verhoeven

Oleksandr Usyk’s performance against Rico Verhoeven continues to divide opinion, but John Fury believes the Ukrainian deserves much more recognition than he received after their heavyweight clash.
Usyk defended his WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles following an 11th-round victory over Verhoeven last month, although the result sparked debate after the Dutchman enjoyed considerable success throughout the competition.
Verhoeven had a slight advantage on one judge’s scorecard after 10 rounds, while the other two judges fought even at 95-95. Usyk eventually turned the tide with a right uppercut that knocked down the former kickboxing champion before referee Mark Lyson waved off the fight once the round had already ended.
Despite the criticism directed at Usyk’s performance, John Fury emphasized that the three-time undisputed champion should not be judged too harshly.
“No, you know, because ultimately he created problems. He’s a 6-foot-6 athlete, he trains like a demon, he’s as robust as a bull, and he plays like a badger. He’s going to cause problems. World kickboxing champion. I don’t know who said he doesn’t have a chance,” John told Secondsout about Usyk’s fight with the much larger Verhoeven.
Fury also pointed to a size disadvantage that Usyk has consistently overcome since moving up from cruiserweight.
“You have to give Usyk credit because he’s just a cruiserweight that’s blowing up, you know, and he’s won heavyweight titles, right? But you know what? He just seems to have done his job, right? And he’s done his job. So fair game to Usyk.”
However, Fury remained critical of the controversial ending, arguing that Verhoeven’s corner should have been used to determine whether their fighter was able to continue in the final round.
Verhoeven has since called for a rematch, although Usyk’s immediate future remains uncertain. The undefeated champion has been ordered by the WBC to make a mandatory defense against Agit Kabayel, and failure to do so could jeopardize his title reign.
