Upset is one reason why sports are fascinating—defying the odds, proving the doubters wrong, and many more.
In boxing, fans inside the arena will always be in awe whenever upset takes place.
We listed the biggest upsets in boxing! Let\’s take a look.

EVANDER HOLYFIELD VS MIKE TYSON
Although both are hall of Famer, Holyfield came to the fight as an underdog. But he proved that he is better after he knocked out Iron Mike in the 11th round. Holyfield bullied the “worst man on the planet.\” And that is something to brag about on his behavior.
The fight took place on November 9, 1996. Holyfield became a three-time world heavyweight champion after defeating Tyson.
GEORGE FOREMAN VS MICHAEL MOORER
This one is extraordinary. Although if we\’re looking at the names, Foreman has the upper hand. However, he fought Moorer at the age of 45. All Foreman needed was one punch despite being at a disadvantage in all nine rounds. In the 10th, he ended Moorer and whole. WHAT. AN. UPSET.
BUSTER DOUGLAS VS MIKE TYSON
It will be the second time Tyson is on the upset list. Well, he is that great, that\’s why.
Douglas is much more underdog compared to when Holyfield fought Tyson. However, Douglas had extra motivation. His mother died weeks before the fight. The rage in his heart was poured on the champ. It was too much to handle for Tyson as he dropped out in the 10th round. Douglas became the undisputed heavyweight champion.
ANDY RUIZ JR VS ANTHONY JOSHUA
In recent years, this is one of the biggest upset. And it will be one in the books. Ruiz was the challenger against the unified heavyweight champion Joshua who only took one shot at the temple to change Ruiz\’s boxing career completely. A massive punch put Joshua\’s feet it unstableness. He never regained his balance; thus, Ruiz took advantage. The KO put Ruiz in deep tears. He was sprouted into stardom after the fight.

Two-weight world Mexican champ Luis Nery (35 wins – 1 loss – 0) mocked the undefeated “Japanese monster” Naoya Inoue (26 wins – 0 loss) as ordinary and overrated hyping their fight at Tokyo Dome in Japan May 6, 2024.

31-year old Inoue will defend his undisputed super bantamweight title against Nery.

29-year-old challenger Nery has the WBC and Ring magazine bantamweight titles plus the WBC super bantamweight title from 2020 to May 2021.

On the other hand, the undisputed Inoue who holds WBA and IBF titles plus WBC and WBO belts has never lost except a decision with Filipino ‘flash’ Nonito Donaire last 2011.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
