He was rarely the favorite in his fights, but he scored 39 victories in the professional ring, knocked out opponents 28 times and won the world title. Fans and experts did not expect miracles from him, but he shocked the entire world boxing community at least twice, and we will tell you about one of these cases today.
The legendary Oleg Maskaev once won and won prizes at USSR boxing championships and cups; at one of them, in the semi-finals in the first round after two knockdowns, he forced Vitali Klitschko to abandon the continuation of the fight. In the mid-90s, Oleg moved to the USA, where he began to build a career as a professional boxer.
In 1999, he received his main chance to become a contender for the championship belt. It was a fight with Hasim Rahman in Atlantic City. Before the fight, Hasim boasted: “I will never lose. Especially white." Oleg replied: “I’m not just white. I am Russian". Almost no one believed in Maskaev’s victory - the odds were 10 to 1 against him.
