Boxer Knocks His Opponent Out Cold, But The Fight Was Declared A Draw By The Judges!

There’s an old phrase in boxing about corruption: “You have to knock him out to get a draw.” Well, it actually happened! In April 2024, Nigerian boxer Rasheed Idowu faced Ghanaian Bastie Samir in Accra for the UBO African Light Heavyweight title. Idowu dominated the fight, scoring two knockdowns in the second round, with the final one leaving Samir unconscious.

Despite this clear victory, the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) shockingly declared the fight a technical draw, citing fears of crowd unrest. After reviewing the footage, the UBO found no wrongdoing and recognized Idowu as the rightful champion. The GBA eventually overturned its decision, awarding Idowu the second-round knockout win he deserved. Posted By Ghost
