Corey Jackson snagged the first knockout of Dirty Boxing 1. Quite the feat!
In a lightweight preliminary bout, Jackson faced off against Marcellus Wallace. The venue? The Hangar at Regatta Harbour, Miami, on a bustling Saturday night.
Just under 30 seconds left in round one, Wallace tried a Superman elbow. Missed it by that much! Jackson waited, then BAM—a vicious right hand sent Wallace crashing to the mat. The ref? A tad slow, as Jackson channeled his inner Dan Henderson with a follow-up punch. Game over!
Catch the jaw-dropping finish in the video below. You won’t want to miss this one.
Jackson’s no stranger to the ring; he’s fought for Bellator and PFL before. Now, he’s 2-0 in Dirty Boxing. Remember that VIP-only card for Mike Perry’s new promotion last November? Yep, he knocked out Chris Burton in round two there. Oh, and he’s a former NFC featherweight champ in MMA. Not too shabby for a 36-year-old, right?
