Boxing fans were left disgusted after witnessing a shocking match between a welterweight boxer and an opponent 36 years his junior. Scot England, 58, created history on Wednesday evening by becoming the oldest welterweight boxer in the world.

A brutal knockout

The fight took a dramatic turn when England, a former radio DJ, news anchor, and country music author, stepped into the ring against 23-year-old Jashawn Hunter for his debut bout. Within seconds of the fight starting, Hunter managed to slip inside a punch from England and landed a brutal headshot that sent his opponent crashing to the canvas.

Although England managed to get up from the initial knockdown, Hunter continued to dominate the match. In just 46 seconds, Hunter landed several more shots before England's corner threw in the towel.

Fans express their shock

One fan commented, "That was scary," while another questioned, "They let the fight continue after that (the knockdown)?!?!? Good lord."

Controversy surrounds the match

The event where the match took place, "Country Box," is a syndicated show from Nashville, TN, USA, aiming to keep boxing, music, and the city in the national spotlight.
