Unus Alladin

Chinese powerhouse Zhang Qingjun, dubbed the 'Tiger of Fujian', lived up to his name once again as he won his third straight Hong Kong fight the Queen Elizabeth Stadium last night.

The 22-year-old is best remembered as the chubby mainlander who twice defeated Alain 'The Panther' N'Galani and the youngster was another class act as he scored a quick knockdown of his latest opponent, Marek 'The Jet' Boguscewicz of Britain.

Zhang extended his  record to 24 wins from 26 fights as he grabbed the WBC heavyweight intercontinental Asia title (100 kgs).

It took less than 20 seconds for Zhang to score one of the night's fastest knockouts. It was the first WBC title fight held in Hong Kong and Zhang won in spectacular fashion to add to his IMG and K-1 championship belts.

Zhang, the China IMF (International Muay Thai Federation) title holder came straight out from the opening bell, scoring a series of unanswered blows as Boguscewicz hit the canvas after just five seconds.

He got up only to be sent to the floor again after another barrage of kicks and punches.

The fight was declared a knockout some 70 seconds into the fight.

The 32-year-old Briton was in his 38th career fight and had an impressive record of 36 wins with just one loss before he was put to the test last night against the tough Zhang.

Nathan 'Carnage' Corbett of Australia also scored a quick knockout when he faced South Korea's Kwak Yun-sub.

The 26-year-old Corbett, from Surfers' Paradise, proved no match for 29-year-old Kwak, who took just seconds to send his opponent to the canvas.

The night also belonged to Thailand's 'King Kong' Buakaw, who scored an upset victory over Jean 'Tattooed Dragon' Skarbowsky to win the Songchai S-1 super lightweight world title (64 kgs).

Buakaw was declared the winner after five rounds of action with all three judges giving the 24-year-old Thai victory.
