WBO bantamweight champion Zolani Tete came into his title defence against Siboniso Gonya with a reputation as a finisher. 20 of 25 wins coming by way of knockout will do that to a fighter.
It didn't take long for the South African champion to earn his 21st KO against his compatriot. Tete justified his position as a heavy betting favourite by sending his opponent to the shadow realm in just 11 seconds. There's not much to break down here. They both met in the centre of the ring, Tete landed a huge right hook and it was all over. https://twitter.com/ryansongalia/status/931969107074932737 You may have seen quick knockouts, but we can guarantee you've never seen anything like that coup de grace before. That right hook saw Tete enter into the history books as the proud owner of the fastest ever knockout in a major championship fight (WBC, WBA, IBF, or WBO). Hell, even Conor McGregor took a full two seconds longer to render Jose Aldo unconscious. https://twitter.com/AgainstTRopes/status/931970749753184258Anthony Joshua leaves hospital & pays respect to friends killed in car crash
