On this day in history, Hamed halts Kelley in US debut
December 19, 1997
Naseem Hamed knocked out former WBC champion Kevin Kelley in four rounds to retain his featherweight title in an explosive US debut at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
Both fighters were floored three times before the Briton claimed victory over his fellow southpaw with his 27th KO in 29 fights.
