Zou Shiming, China’s boxing superstar, and two-time Olympic gold medalist failed to defend the WBO world flyweight title on Friday after a technical knock out (TKO) by his Japanese opponent Sho Kimura in the 11th round of a 12-round contest at the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center. “When I lose a boxing fight, when I can’t win anymore, there are still people here to support boxing in China, and my goal is complete,” roared the emotional Zou after getting up from the canvas one minute after the sensational knockout.
