Zolani Tete set the fastest ever world title knock-out after successfully defending his WBO bantamweight crown in Belfast last weekend.

The 29-year-old landed a fierce punch on Siboniso Gonya's chin at the SSE Arena inside the first bell.

Gonya was flattened to the canvas leaving the referee with no option but to call off the fight after a mere 11 seconds to set a new world record.

The previous record stood at 17 seconds after the bout between Daniel Jimenez and Harald Geier in 1994.
