Hemi Ahio didn’t have to put in much work to preserve his unblemished record.
The Auckland-based heavyweight extended his current five-fight stoppage streak following his early win over locally-based Christian Ndzie Tsoye. An arm injury forced Tsoye (5-5-2, 4KOs) to quit on his stool prior to the start of the second round of their swing bout Sunday morning (local time) at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.
The bout appeared in the background of an ESPN telecast, though with only moments of the fight made available to U.S. viewers. Tsoye appeared to be winded midway through the opening round of a slow-paced bout that never had a chance to pick up steam. The fight ended in an instant, when referee Jeffrey Eddy was alerted of Tsoye’s injury.
