Watch Anthony Joshua's rival Oleksandr Usyk sparring partner record ferocious knockout on Iranian Hulk fight card | The Sun
OLEKSANDR USYK's sparring partner scored a brutal KO on the undercard of the Iranian Hulk's long-awaited boxing debut.
Nursultan Amanzholov locked horns with Shapi Mushota on the latest Wicked N' Bad white-collar boxing event in Dubai last weekend.
The Kazakh made light work of Mushota – dropping him twice in the second round and once in the third before the referee waved off the contest.
Amanzholov first dropped Mushota with a nasty shot that left the MMA fighter struggling to return to his feet.
Mushota had to pick himself off the canvas in the closing moments of the second thanks to another heavy shot.
Debutant Mushota was floored once again shortly after the restart and the referee wasted no time in calling a halt to the contest.
