Unexpected first-round knockout: The fight started intensely, but with only half a minute left in the first round, the British fighter landed a powerful counter-attack — an uppercut — which decided the outcome in his favor and brought the match to an early end;
A 12-fight streak ended: This setback put an end to Temirov's magnificent 12-fight winning streak;
Drop in rankings: Due to the knockout defeat, the Uzbek athlete dropped from 7th to 10th place in the official TOP rankings of his weight class.
