Toussaint upsets Hicks on Hall of Fame show

Wendy Toussaint W10 Joseph Hicks... On a night built to celebrate boxing greatness during the International Boxing Hall of Fame Induction Weekend, junior middleweight Wendy Toussaint carved his own personal laegacy, scoring an upset over previously undefeated Joseph Hicks Jr. The bout took place last night (June 6) at the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, NY, and was broadcast worldwide on DAZN, promoted by Salita Promotions and Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing, in association with All The Smoke Fight, the digital boxing platform led by Hall of Famer Andre Ward. Fighting with purpose and intensity, Toussaint (17-3) imposed his will from the outset, pressuring Hicks and dictating the pace throughout all ten rounds. Hicks (now 12-1), who entered the fight as a highly touted prospect, was unable to establish his rhythm as Toussaint consistently kept him on his heels. The judges scored the bout 97-93 (Eric Marlinski), 96-94 (Don Trella), and a surprising 95-95 (Don Ackerman), awarding Toussaint a majority decision.
