Undefeated heavyweight Tyrone Spong 14-0 (13 KOs) scored 2 round stoppage of Jeyson Minda 14-2-1 (8 KOs) on Saturday night at the Gimnasio Polifuncional in Merida, Mexico. Spong, a former renowned Mixed martial arts and kick boxing standout, made the intrepid transition to boxing four years ago, but in all honesty hasn’t faced a single opponent with a winning record in that time.. Spong was pushed to a 10 round split decision by the very average Ytalo Perea last December in Ecuador to pick up the typical WBA and WBO Latino titles in what was his previous outing to this bout.. Tyrone is rumored to be the favoured opponent for Oleksandr Usyk in his heavyweight debut on October 12 in Chicago.
Spong would offer very little resistance to a fighter of Usyk’s caliber who was originally pencilled in to face a real threat in Carlos Takam.. Spong has jumped into the WBO rankings overnight with Saturday’s victory, in an outrageous set of championship committee affairs..
