Coming to in America

Multiple-time kickboxing and Muay Thai world champion Tyrone Spong’s boxing debut on US soil finished with a bang.

If you’ve ever seen a Spong fight before, you know exactly what to expect from the striking master. Whether he’s competing in Glory, K-1, or more recently, MMA promotion World Series of Fighting, the Surinamese fighter is always searching for the finish.

Less than a month after his TKO victory over David Gogishvili in Grozny, Spong traveled to Fort Lauderdale to make his boxing debut in the land of the brave against Lucas Queen.

The former Glory champion extended his pristine record inside the ring to 4-0 with an absolutely sensational knockout, punishing his opponent with a thunderous haymaker that sent him tumbling to the canvas in a heap.

The win not only keeps Spong’s pristine professional boxing record intact, but has also ensured that he has a 100% KO record inside the boxing ring.
