Overview
- Teremoana Teremoana knocked down and stopped American DeAndre Savage in the second round at The Star Gold Coast on Wednesday to move to 12-0 with all wins by knockout.
- The 28-year-old Olympian ended the fight with a right hand and noted he is frustrated that none of his opponents have lasted beyond two rounds.
- Savage, who came in with 11 knockout wins, called Teremoana the hardest puncher he has faced and said the Aussie could become a heavyweight world champion.
- Promoter Eddie Hearn said Teremoana is expected to appear on the proposed Anthony Joshua–Tyson Fury undercard, though the main event’s date and venue remain unconfirmed.
