Magomed Majidov kicks off DAZN broadcast with KO

Magomed Majidov TKO2 Tom Little Former amateur star Magomed Majidov, a 6'3", 33 year-old former amateur star, is getting is pro career rolling, although later than ideal. Majidov, an Azerbaijani, won a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics and gold at the 2011, 2013 and 2014 World Championships, all in the super heavyweight division. He holds an amateur win over former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. He went 12-3 in the World Series of Boxing and is now trained by former champion John David Jackson. At the start of the DAZN telecast from Saudi Arabia, Majidov stopped Britain's Tom Little in round two. Little is just 10-8 but is an Anthony Joshua sparring partner who knows how to handle himself in the ring. Majidov knocked the overweight Little down hard in round two, but to Little's credit, he got up and fought hard. Majidov kept landing hard shots, and Little's legs were wobbly, convincing the referee to stop the heavyweight bout with Little staggering around. Majidov is now listed as 2-0 but since the Wolrd Series of Boxing is a professional promotion, 14-3 is more accurate. Whatever his record, he is someone to keep an eye on. source: dazn
