A Nigerian boxer, Onoriode ‘Godzilla’ Ehwarieme, has defeated his United States’ opponent, Jeff Holcomb in the first round of their scheduled six-round bout in Cleveland, Tennessee.
It was the second fight for the Boxing Federation (WBF) champion for Ehwarieme, who has been described in the boxing world as “knockout specialist.”
The hard fighting Nigerian relocated to the United States of America late last year.
After receiving some hard punches from the Delta State-born boxer in round one, Holcomb gave up the fight.
“He couldn’t come out after the end of round one. He said he couldn’t continue with the fight,” Ehwarieme said shortly after the fight.
The tall, dark-complexioned boxer, who is now managed by a new team in the United States, started his professional career on a sound note on arrival in the U.S., beating America’s Rodolzo Damahi Lewis in a six-round bout in South Carolina.
With the latest victory, Ehwarieme, has extended his Knockouts to 19 in 21 fights.
