CAPITAL PUNISHMENT!🔨Prince Naseem Hamed vs Bungu | Full Fight | WBO Featherweight Boxing |
Naseem Hamed 33–0 (29 KO) vs. Vuyani Bungu 37–2 (19 KO), billed as Capital Punishment, was a professional boxing match contested on 11 March 2000, for the WBO and Lineal featherweight championship.[2] The bout took place at the London Olympia.
In his previous fight, Naseem Hamed defeated César Soto to add the WBC featherweight championship to his own WBO version of the title. Hamed had originally hoped to keep both titles, however, at the time the WBO was not a major sanctioning body. As a result, the WBC refused to allow Hamed to hold his title with the WBO’s, and he was subsequently stripped of the honor in January 2000.
Shortly after Hamed’s victory over Soto, his team began negotiations with former WBO super-bantamweight champion Junior Jones to be Hamed’s next opponent for a scheduled March 11 fight. Jones, however, refused the terms of the contract and the fight was ultimately cancelled in January 2000. Only a week after the cancellation of the Hamed–Jones fight, it was announced that Hamed and then-current IBF super bantamweight champion Vuyani Bungu would meet instead. The fight between Hamed and Bungu had been over a year in the making, as both fighters had been two of the most successful champions in their respective weight classes. Hamed had been the WBO featherweight champion for over four years and Bungu had held the IBF super bantamweight title for over five years.
Hamed, who was coming off of three consecutive lackluster performances, having gone the full 12-round distance with Wayne McCullough and César Soto and going deep into the fight with Paul Ingle before finally knocking Ingle out in the 11th round, promised that he would be “back to my best”. Hamed also predicted a knockout or stoppage though he could not say when during the fight it would happen.I

😱Hasim Rahman KNOCKED OUT Lennox Lewis in South Africa 25 years ago today‼️
Billed ‘Thunder in Africa’ the bout took place in the Carnival City Casino in Brakpan, South Africa for the WBC/IBF/IBO Heavyweight titles.
Lewis, a 20-1 favourite, trained for the bout in Vegas while filming scenes for ‘Oceans Eleven’ for a boxing match with Wladimir Klitschko whilst his opponent had already set off for Brakpan.
With the African city sitting 5,200 feet above sea level (Vegas is 2,000) the champion didn’t arrive in the country until 12 days before fight night, while a full-trained and fully-motivated Rahman pulled off one of the biggest shocks in the history of heavyweight boxing as he flattened the Brit to become unified champion of the world.

😱Rahman SHOCKS the WORLD🌎 | Lennox Lewis vs Hasim Rahman | WBC/IBF Heavyweight Boxing | On This Day
Lennox Lewis vs. Hasim Rahman, billed as Thunder in Africa, was a heavyweight professional boxing match contested between unified WBC, IBF, IBO, and lineal champion Lennox Lewis, and Hasim Rahman. The bout took place on 22 April 2001 in Brakpan, South Africa. Rahman, who was a 20–1 underdog, won by knockout in the fifth round. It was one of the biggest upsets in boxing history.
Following three successful title defenses in 2000, Lennox Lewis turned his sights on a potential superfight with Mike Tyson. Lewis had originally hoped to meet Tyson during the summer of 2001, however, Tyson was issued a three-month suspension early in the year after testing positive for marijuana following his 2000 fight with Andrew Golota. Lewis opted to make his next defense against little-known Hasim Rahman. Lewis came into the fight as a 20–1 favorite and paid little attention to his opponent, having begun negotiations for his long-awaited match with Tyson while also being challenged to a possible unification match by WBA heavyweight champion John Ruiz. Brakpan, Gauteng, South Africa, is 5,200 feet above sea level. Rahman arrived on 27 March so he would have time to adjust to the high altitude, but Lewis didn’t arrive until 10 April. Lewis trained in Las Vegas, Nevada, which is 2,000 feet above sea level. He trained in Las Vegas so he could also film scenes for a cameo appearance in the movie Ocean’s Eleven. Notwithstanding the altitude challenges, the actual fight itself took place at an odd time, 05:00 (SAST) on Sunday 22 April 200 in order to accommodate HBO’s significant United States-based audience at a reasonable hour on Saturday 21 April 2001. After Lewis was knocked out by Rahman, HBO commentator Larry Merchant said, “He just drowned in Ocean’s Eleven.”
