Heavyweight Izu Ugonoh, Joseph Parker's stablemate, has suffered a shock knockout loss to Dominic Breazeale in an incredible all-action fight in Alabama today. In the fourth round Ugonoh knocked down Breazeale, but in a bid to finish the fight appeared to over-extend himself and he finished the round exhausted. Breazeale made him pay early in the fifth round, knocking him down twice with powerful round hands, the final time through the ropes. Presumably up on the judges' scorecards, it was a devastating way for Ugonoh's evening to finish. In a non-televised earlier fight, Kiwi Junior Fa extended his record to 10-0 with a TKO win over American Keith Barr.
