Aussie heavyweight Teremoana knocks out Savage in two rounds

Australian heavyweight Teremoana Teremoana defeated American DeAndre Savage in the second round of their heavyweight bout on Wednesday night, extending his undefeated professional record to 12 wins, all by knockout. The 28-year-old Olympian secured the victory by flooring Savage with a powerful right hand, a pattern that has characterized his bouts - none of his opponents have lasted past the second round.

Despite Savage's promise to take Teremoana to an unfamiliar level, the Australian dominated from the start, delivering another swift stoppage win. Teremoana expressed his frustration, admitting he was disappointed that his fights have ended so quickly, with no opponent managing to survive beyond two rounds. The Australian boxer also revealed that promoter Eddie Hearn has plans for him to face the undercard of the highly anticipated Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury bout.

However, no specific date or venue has been set for this anticipated match-up, which is expected to occur later this year. Savage, on the other hand, acknowledged Teremoana as the hardest puncher he had faced during his career, stating that the Australian's power left him stunned. He further suggested that Teremoana possesses the potential to become a heavyweight world champion.
