Sunny Morini from New Zealand won the NZPBC welterweight title after knocking out Fiji’s Mohammed Ali in the second round of their Stratum Construction Zeg Kings Boxing day fight.

Ali was no match for Morini and he failed to get to his feet during the count from the referee when a right from Morini landed on his cheek in the second round.

Ali was brought in on Thursday to replace Jese Ravudi.
