 The hard-hitting, knockout artist Saundre Simmons made his return to the Boxing Ring at the Red Owl Boxing Arena, in Houston, Texas.
Simmons went to battle against Nigerian fighter Nosa Divine Nehikhare in a 185-pound fight, Simmons weighed in at 182.2lbs, while his opponent Nehikhare weighed in at 181.6.
Simmons remained true to his reputation with a fourth-round TKO victory over Nehikhare. Nehikhare became the first fighter to take Simmons out of the first round. With just seconds left in the third round, Nehikhare was dropped but recovered in time to continue. It was in the fourth round that the veteran took a knee after a barrage of punches from the 27-year-old rising star.
“I just had to calm down,” said Simmons. “I competed at a high level in the amateurs and now I am getting back to that in the pros. My coaches told me to keep working my jab because this was the first time I faced a southpaw in the pros. Shout out to Red Owl for this opportunity.”
