Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:50 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Strikes). Bunny Anstey!
Bunny Anstey retains his heavyweight title!
Bunny Anstey decided to call for a title shot in his post fight interview, which was very strange given the fact this fight was for a title and he's already the champion. I guess that's what getting punched in the head does for you.
