Frank Sanchez secured a TKO victory over Julian Fernandez on Saturday night by knocking him out of the ring with a brutal combo.

Sanchez extended his record to 17-0 with 12 knockouts and it could've been his best one yet.

He sealed victory in phenomenal fashion after levelling Fernandez, who could be seen goading the 28-year-old, with ferocious shots.

It saw the Mexican fall through the ropes and hit the ground below as Sanchez was declared the winner.


Fans have reacted to the knockout and Fernandez's bizarre way of motivating Sanchez.








Sanchez is regarded as one of the world's best up and coming heavyweights and could face Oleksandr Usyk in 2021.

Manager Mike Borao explained per Sky Sports: "It's looking like some chance Usyk may pick up a WBO vacated title in 2021 (if Joshua vs Fury happens). In that case, it would open a small window for Frank to fight for a title in 2021.

"Frank is world ranked in the WBO and a bout between two of the best recent amateur cruiserweights fighting for a heavyweight title would be intriguing."

In the main event of Saturday's show, Canelo Alvarez ran out winner over Callum Smith in a dominant performance.

The Mexican superstar marched to unanimous victory and claimed the WBA world super-middleweight title with the bout scored 119-109, 119-109 and 117-111 in his favour.
