BREAKING: UFC lightweight star Paddy Pimblett has just been “knocked out” in a sensational boxing exhibition in his hometown of Liverpool, England. This unexpected event took place at the No Limits Boxing Club, where Pimblett, preparing for his interim lightweight title fight against Justin Gaethje next month, took a moment to support a rising star in the boxing community.
In a heartwarming display, Pimblett faced off against George Goetzee, a boxer with Down syndrome, who is affectionately nicknamed “The Real GGG”. The exhibition, held earlier today, saw Goetzee unleash a series of punches that culminated in a powerful right hand, sending Pimblett crashing to the canvas. The referee promptly halted the fight, declaring Goetzee the winner by KO, marking a monumental moment for the amateur boxer.
The ring announcer dramatically stated, “The referee calls a halt to this contest with the red corner [Pimblett] in no condition to continue, and therefore your winner by KO, and still undefeated: The Real GGG!”
Following the bout, Pimblett showcased his sportsmanship by lifting Goetzee onto his shoulders, celebrating the young boxer’s achievement. Pimblett, known for his commitment to community service in Liverpool, continues to emphasize the importance of supporting local talents, especially those with unique challenges.
This exhibition comes just weeks before Pimblett’s highly anticipated clash with Gaethje on January 24, 2024, in Las Vegas, which adds an extra layer of intrigue to his recent knockout experience.
