Who was the only boxer to knock out British boxer Herol Graham?
Herol Graham (born 13 September 1959) is a British former professional boxer who competed from 1978 to 1998. He held many regional championships, including the European, British, and Commonwealth light-middleweight titles, as well as the European and British middleweight titles, yet is generally acknowledged as one of the best British boxers of the post-war era to have never won a world title.
In 1990, in a title fight for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) middleweight belt, he lost to Julian Jackson for the vacant WBC middleweight title. After outclassing Jackson for nearly 4 rounds, Graham was knocked out cold before he hit the canvas by the now-famous devastating right cross known as the 'Punch of the Century'. This is the only fight that Graham was knocked out in his professional fighting career.
Graham lost two fights by TKO (Technical Knockout) to Frank Grant and Charles Brewer. A technical knockout (TKO or T.K.O.), or stoppage, is declared when the referee or official ring physician decides during a round that a fighter cannot safely continue the match for any reason, without the need for an intervening count.
Graham went undefeated in his first 38 fights. He finished with a record of 54 fights, 48 wins with 6 loses.
