Don’t write former two-division champion Randall Bailey (45-8 39 KOs) off just yet. The 41-year-old proved that his ring moniker, “The Knock-Out King” is still well deserved.
Fighting in front of a sparse crowd at South Korea’s Inchon Seonhak Boxing Stadium, Bailey faced Japan’s Shusaka Fujinaka (12-6-2 8 KOs) in a fight billed as his South Korean debut.
In the seventh round, his 28-year-old opponent had Bailey backpedaling from significant pressure when the fortunes of the two fighters suddenly changed. Bailey turned the tide with a sneaky left hook that floored his opponent for the count.
Bailey didn't even have his feet properly planted when he threw the punch, a testament to his stopping power and .700 knockout percentage.
Since losing to Devon Alexander in 2012, Bailey has fought three times, winning twice by KO and once by disqualification.
