Watch: big KO win for NJ amateur Malachi Georges

Heavyweight Malachi Georges got a huge win on Monday at the World Boxing Cup tournament in Astana, Kazakhstan 2025. Georges landed a two-punch combination that knocked out Abbes Mouhiidine of Italy in round one. This was a big win, as Mouhididine was a silver medal winner at the 2021 world amateur championship. Georges, from New Jersey, is coming off a silver medal performance at the World Boxing Challenge Grand Prix at Usti Nad Labem (Czech Republic). Competing in the 203-pound category, he now needs only one more win to earn a bronze medal and three for his first international gold medal.
