Swedish light heavyweight Anton ”The Pleasure Man” Turkalj just clashed with promotional newcomer Ibo Aslan in a heated rematch. The pairing faced each other back in 2020 with Turkalj coming out as the winner.

Turkalj did well in the first two rounds, landing some heavy shots and swelling his opponents eye to a close.

But then Aslan landed a huge punch in the third round that knocked Turkalj down, and the referee stepped in and declared Aslan the winner by TKO.

Without a doubt 👏
