Evander Holyfield, BOXING legend, was brutally knocked unconscious by an electrician last night at the Trillerverz 5 event.
With his perfect 9-0 record, the 24-year-old was the favourite going into his six-round match with Jurmain McDonald.

He was even priced at 1/100 by some bookies, but the star lost to the 6-5 fighter.
McDonald's, 32, made a stunning overhand in the second round, sending Holyfield to the mat and out of the count.
To make the win even more impressive, the fighter happens to be an electrician by day.
He works full-time and does his boxing training and his gym work part time.
Holyfield is the exact opposite. He has become a full-time professional to build his own career.
However, his disappointment at last night's upset will be a setback to his dreams of becoming a world champion like his father.
He refused to let his ambitions stop him from reaching them and took to social media to do so.
He wrote, "Blessed that I am in good health, and that is a good shot no cap!" I hope I didn't disappoint anyone, but I promise that I will make up for it. I still want to be the world champion!
Holyfield, a former champion at heavyweight and cruiserweight, was there to witness Evan score an impressive knockout in October.
Charles Stanford was stopped by him in the second round of their super-welterweight fight.
Evan rocked Stanford first with a vicious left hook, before a thundering overhand right sent him sprawling to the ground.
Stanford was savagely knocked out in the 22nd second of the second round.
Holyfield, now 59, made an unusual return to the ring last season, but it didn't last very long.
In less than two minutes, he was stopped by Vitor Belfort, a legend in MMA.
