Boxer left needing oxygen

In a historic bout, brothers Kusuo and Katsuaki Eguchi faced off for the Japanese minimumweight title, a rare occurrence in boxing. The fight showcased intense action, with Kusuo initially dominating before Katsuaki knocked him down in the second round. Ultimately, Kusuo landed a decisive left uppercut, securing victory and leaving Katsuaki uninjured but dazed. Meanwhile, in a shocking debut, 22-year-old boxer Hasnan Ali was knocked out in just 40 seconds by late replacement Tommy Sams, leaving him requiring an oxygen mask post-fight.

Fortunately, Ali recovered and returned to his feet, while Sams reflected on his unexpected victory after only a day’s notice to fight.
