00:00So we are ready to go with our main event, one of the biggest knights in the history
00:16of Albanian boxing, their very own Nelson Hisa in the main event, the 39 year old from
00:25Shkodër, Albania, the 20 plus time national amateur champion here in Albania taking on
00:34Thorsten Fuchs, 12 rounds with the WBO European heavyweight title on the line as Hisa looks
00:44towards his modest goal before he retires of potentially achieving a top 20 ranking
00:53in the heavyweight division somewhere, this may be enough to get him there within the
00:58WBO and that alone for a man pushing 40, who has really been a trailblazer in the Albanian
01:06boxing scene, would be quite the achievement.
01:17Saw Hisa scoring a third round TKO over Jason Tronosko in June of this year in Switzerland,
01:27Fuchs was in action in June scoring a second round TKO over Daibas Barokal, Fuchs is on
01:36a run of three straight wins, two of them by stoppage since his lone career loss, as
01:42Hisa steps in with a nice two punch combination, now digs downstairs to the body, and that
01:52right hand has Fuchs taking a knee, Fuchs having second thoughts about whether to continue,
02:08oh boy he is up right at the last second, Fuchs hits the canvas here in round one and
02:17he takes another flush right hand there from Hisa, hard right hand and down goes Fuchs
02:26again, and this one is over, what a moment for Albanian boxing, Nelson Hisa with a knockout
02:47victory, knockout number 16 for the pride of Albanian boxing, and the second knockout
03:05loss in the career of Thorsten Fuchs, what a journey it has been for Hisa who turned
03:18pro at the age of 37, still very much a young professional, despite his biological age,
03:32in 2017 he was shot, had two bullets lodged in his pelvis, they thought he might not ever
03:41walk again let alone box again, and here is Hisa scoring a knockout on an international
03:50broadcast, what a moment for him here tonight, Hisa's mother has never seen him fight, she
04:03won't allow herself to watch him fight, I think it's safe for her to go back and watch
04:08the replay of this one, I don't think that your son got touched in this one, take a look
04:18back at the highlights here, there was the first right hand, you see the delayed reaction
04:23from Fuchs, and I thought that this one was over here, I wasn't sure that Fuchs actually
04:31beat the count, he did get up just in time, and there's the right hand, gets there first,
04:38and Hisa seemed to know it, a knockout win, number 16, and win number 18, and now
04:58you can take that WBO European heavyweight title home.
05:09A referee will bring both boxers to the centre of the ring.
05:22So ladies and gentlemen the official time of the stoppage 1 minute 45 seconds, round
05:28number 1, referee who reaches the count of 10, the winner by KO victory, and the new
05:38WBO European heavyweight champion, from Albania, Nelson Hisa.
05:47So Nelson Hisa celebrates in Skanderbeg square, in front of an adoring audience here in Albania,
06:07what a moment for him and his family, as he celebrates.
