URGENT UPDATE: UFC star Paddy Pimblett was playfully “knocked out” during a boxing exhibition in his hometown of Liverpool, England, just hours ago. This unexpected twist delighted local fans and made a young amateur boxer’s dreams come true.
Pimblett, who holds a record of 23-3-0, is currently preparing for his highly anticipated fight against Justin Gaethje on January 24, 2024, in Las Vegas. However, he took a break from his training camp to participate in an event organized by the No Limits Boxing Club.
The exhibition featured George Goetzee, a boxer with Down syndrome, who is affectionately known as “The Real GGG,” a nod to champion Gennady Golovkin. Goetzee showcased impressive skills, landing a powerful right hand that sent Pimblett to the canvas, prompting the referee to halt the match.
“The referee calls a halt to this contest with the red corner [Pimblett] in no condition to continue, and therefore your winner by KO, and still undefeated: The Real GGG!” the ring announcer declared, drawing cheers from the crowd.
After the match, Pimblett lifted Goetzee onto his shoulders, celebrating the young boxer’s victory and highlighting his commitment to community engagement in Liverpool. Known for his philanthropy, Pimblett often advocates for local issues, making this exhibition even more meaningful.
Fans and observers are buzzing about this unique event, which combines sportsmanship with a powerful message of inclusion. As Pimblett gears up for his title shot, this exhibition serves as a reminder of the impact athletes can have beyond their competitive arenas.
