Watch Yoel Romero destroy Duane Crespo for brutal knockout at Dirty Boxing event

Yoel Romero made quick work of his opponent to close the show at Dirty Boxing Championship’s first event.

Mike Perry’s new combat sports promotion held a private event on Saturday night in Miami, and in the main event, Romero absolutely destroyed Power Slap standout Duane Crespo for a first-round knockout.

Check out the absolutely brutal finish below.

Romero’s participation on the event was kept a secret until Friday when he surprised the combat sports community when he weighed in for the heavyweight headliner. The multi-time UFC title challenger, and four-fight Bellator veteran picked up his second victory of 2024. In February, “Solider of God” earned a unanimous decision victory over Thiago Santos at the PFL vs. Bellator fight card.

The 47-year-old now has four victories in his past five combat sports outings — which includes a pair of third-round knockout victories over Melvin Manhoef and Alex Polizzi.

Crespo entered the slap fighting world after four straight knockout losses in a combination of MMA, boxing, and bare-knuckle boxing bouts. “The Iron Giant” has won three consecutive bouts in Dana White’s Power Slap organization.
