Watch: Veteran Produces Stunning Knockout To Become Champion Again

Boxing is on fire today already.

Knockouts.

Upsets galore.

This is what makes boxing so good when it’s on form.

Magic.

Big respect to all the fighters.

Spanish veteran Kiko Martinez the latest today in a sixth round shock upset to capture the IBF title:

(Hat tip DAZN)

Big right hand on the button straight down the middle. Bingo.

What a shot.

Credit to Martinez at 35 on becoming champion again.

Not old for boxing these days but a man who has a huge amount of experience and being in so many wars.

Some may have thought after 56 pro fights coming into tonight that his best days were behind him.

No chance.

What a win.

Kiko Martinez now a two-weight world champion and surely one of the best Spanish boxers of all-time now.
