The "Pacman" didn’t stop wreaking havoc in the upper class as he moved to the 135-pound and 140-pound division, where he dominated former champions David Diaz (9th round TKO in 2008) and Ricky Hatton (second-round KO in 2009) to tie Oscar De La Hoya’s record for six division titles.

"I am very excited about beginning the next chapter in my boxing career by signing with Sauerland Event," Cunningham stated at the time. "I believe this is a bold but smart move, especially because of my weight class."

The exhausted fighters had a half-hearted hug after the bell, but they touched fists and exchanged warm smiles right before the verdict was announced. They touched hands again when Khelif held down the ropes to allow Hamori to leave the ring in a traditional boxing gesture of sportsmanship.
