A boxing debutant bent his opponent backwards like he was made of rubber with a thunderous knockout punch

• Wasim Chellan made his pro boxing debut Saturday.
• The South African athlete made it a fight to remember as he scored an extraordinary knockout.
• It has to be seen to be believed.

An unheralded boxer called Wasim Chellan scored one of the most brutal knockouts of 2021 in his very first professional fight Saturday at the Hope Street Hall in Cape Town, South Africa.

Chellan made his pro boxing debut at the weekend a fight to remember as he poleaxed his opponent, Yann Lenvo, before the closing bell.

Lenvo came out swinging during the finishing sequence, looking to take Chellan's head off with a punching flurry that incorporated hook shots.

But Chellan kept his forearms and gloves up as a guard to protect his head, dipped down to evade a shot and, as he stood back upright, hammered a left hook of his own at Lenvo's head.

It was a thunderous connection that had a brutal impact on Lenvo as it rocked his head right back.

Gravity then took over, but with his feet seemingly glued to the canvas, he bent back on himself in the most unnatural and painful way imaginable.

Lenvo then collapsed in an awkward heap on the floor as Chellan clubbed his way to a 1-0 (1 knockout) record.

Chellan returns to the ring on March 12 as he fights Mvuzo Kotobe at Pollsmoor Prison Hall in Cape Town.

Judging by the way he won the first fight, he may have more eyes on him for his second.
