Nelson Hysa extended his unbeaten run, this time with a quick victory over Norway’s Thomas Narmo at London’s O2 Arena. The Albanian boxer finished the bout in the second round and immediately turned his attention after the fight to a bigger name in the heavyweight division: Agit Kabayel.
Quick win in London
At the boxing event held Saturday at the O2 Arena, where Moses Itauma and Filip Hrgovic also fought, Hysa secured another convincing win in his career. Across from him was Thomas Narmo, in a bout between two heavyweight boxers who entered the ring unbeaten.
The Albanian needed only 36 seconds of the second round to end the fight. The decisive blow came with the right hand, dropping the Norwegian after a slow movement on the counterattack.
The referee’s intervention and the opponent’s condition
Narmo managed to get up, but it was clear he was not in a condition to continue normally. The referee intervened immediately and stopped the contest, awarding the victory to Hysa.
After the stoppage, doctors entered the ring to provide the necessary assistance to the Norwegian boxer. He left the ring on foot.
Record of 25-0 and the call for bigger names
With this success, Nelson Hysa improves his record to 25 wins and no losses. According to the information published after the fight, the Albanian remains on the rise in the heavyweight division and is increasing the pressure for a bigger matchup.
After the victory, Hysa openly called for a top-level opponent and said he is aiming for a title opportunity. He said he wants a bout with Agit Kabayel and with the division’s leading names.
Verbal clash outside the ring
The tension did not remain only inside the ropes. After the fight, Hysa clashed verbally with Germany’s Agit Kabayel near the spectator seats, while security intervened to prevent the situation from escalating.
For his part, Kabayel said he is ready to fight Hysa in Germany, even describing it as an easy matchup. Hysa’s response was just as direct: he said he is being avoided by rivals and that with a 25-0 record he should be fighting for the title.
The victory over Narmo strengthens Nelson Hysa’s position in the heavyweight division and pushes even harder his call for a higher-profile fight.
Attention now turns to the next step in the Albanian boxer’s career: whether this win will open the door to a bout with the division’s leading names.
