Nigerian light-heavyweight might have taken his professional record to 11-0 with a KO win over Basil – but boxing fans have been left bemused by the bizarre finish. Egowa, 27, took on his rival at an outdoor venue in his home country, continuing the trend of every one of his fights so far taking place in Africa.
But the orthodox fighter didn’t exactly have to land a telling blow to secure victory. In an early exchange, the undefeated Egowa appeared to be keeping his distance, throwing a couple of jabs before his opponent went for jugular.
Ozigwe threw a wild roundhouse right, which missed Egowa by some distance. In fact, it was the man on the attack who actually ended up flat on his back, having been thrown off balance by his ambitious punch and stumbled to the canvas.
An unperturbed Egowa then stood there with his hands behind his back, seemingly expecting the action to resume quickly. Instead, Ozigwe remained down, and was counted out by the referee who then duly called for the bell.
