GERMANY: Tyron Zeuge knocked out Isaac Ekpo in the 2nd round and retained his World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Middleweight title.

A year ago, Tyron the local fighter had fought Isaac, the Nigerian boxer and had obtained a win in a match that had to go to the cards in the fifth round due to an accidental head-butt to Zeuge.

In this rematch, the German with a good combination of punches had Isaac in trouble since the beginning and was about to floor him in the very first round .
