Watch Jordan Gill’s sensational KO secure comeback win with TWO SECONDS left leaving opponent needing oxygen in ring
JORDAN GILL scored a sensational come-from-behind knockout against Karim Guerfi to be crowned European champion.
The Brit had purposely pinned himself in his own corner as he appeared to be struggling for balance and breathe.
And just as Guerfi started to really lay on unbearable pressure, Gill turned the tie on its head in the most dramatic of fashion.
A counter right hook while up against the ropes for Gill left his French opponent sent tumbling backwards and out for the count.
The referee immediately waved off the fight as Guerfi was given oxygen and treated by medics.
The fight started as a nip and tuck affair with both men landing sharp shots.
Gill was the busier but was guilty of staying in the pocket for too long, allowing Guerfi to capitalise with counters.
Towards the end of round six, Gill began to ship shots as he covered up, allowing the flow of the fight to change.

He was in round seven slammed to the floor, having been hurt earlier and dropped moments beforehand.
The Frenchman looked to be within a punch of finishing the fight in the eighth round but Gill, remaining in his corner, survived.
The former Commonwealth champion had just about thrown enough right hands in response to keep the referee from stopping the action.
And in round nine it was moving towards a similar story, with Guerfi on top, throwing heavy punches.
But suddenly, Gill came around the side of Guerfi's guard and brutally knocked the away fighter out.
There was only TWO seconds remaining in the round and capped off a remarkable comeback win for Gill.
