Fiji boxer Isaia Junior Maku only lasted one round when he took on New Zealand’s Sam Rapira last night in Hamilton for the light heavy weight title.
Rapira was too powerful for Maku as he knocked him out in the first round.
Meanwhile, boxing legend David Tua has called it quits, after losing a unanimous points decision to giant Belarusian Alexander Ustinov in Hamilton last night.
The 40-year-old never troubled Ustinov and could not find the opportunity to land any of the sledgehammer blows that had been a trademark of his prime.
Afterwards, he admitted his time had come.
He finishes his career with a record of 52 wins (43 knockouts), five losses and two draws.
