Unbeaten boxer dressed as Muhammad Ali scored incredible one-punch KO which floored opponent in his lightweight fight

Michel Rivera caught the eye in more ways than one during his fight in July last year.

The 23-year-old lightweight contender moved to 21-0 (14 KOs) with a sensational one-punch knockout of Jon Fernandez, and he did it while dressed like a young Muhammad Ali.

Rivera originates from the Dominican Republic and began his career with 14 straight wins at home.

Then, after a single fight in Uruguay, he made the switch to America.

Now his star is continuing to grow and he appears to have an eye for what will make headlines.

Prior to this victory, Rivera adapted his nickname.

He'd started his pro career under the moniker 'La Zarza', but is now going with 'Ali'.

Rivera explained to : "Everyone around me claims that I resemble a young Cassius Clay, who of course became Muhammad Ali.

"My coach [German Caicedo] always told me that from day one and it just stuck."

He will have no doubt done 'The Greatest' proud with the brutal one-punch KO of Fernandez, which left the Spaniard slumped on the canvas in round eight.
