Daniel Lapin suffers upset loss on undercard!

Speaking of odds… Benjamin Mendes Tani just upset them!

He has stopped Usyk’s teammate and friend Daniel Lapin in the fourth round, having dropped the Ukrainian three times in their light-heavyweight bout.

That’s a first pro loss for Lapin! What a start to the evening’s action.
