‘Tank’ last fought in October 2020 against Leo Santa Cruz. Here he terrified the latter, thus finishing him in round 6 of the fight.

Right from the first gong, the 26-year-old made his intent clear in this fight. Though Cruz tried to knock him down in a few moments between the fight, ‘Tank’ displayed a champion mindset. He didn’t let the latter take control of the ring, and in the end, he caught Cruz with a vicious uppercut.
