Joppy Stopped in Sixth in Championship Bout!

Former three-time world champion William Joppy was stopped in the sixth round last night in his bid for the WBA Light Heavyweight title against champion Beibut Shumenov at the Ice Mansion in Shyment, Kazakhstan.

The former Kazakhstan Olympian, now fighting out of Las Vegas, floored Joppy in the fifth round with a powerful right and seconds into the sixth round, he fired a vicious left hook to Joppy’s body that resulted in him taking a knee and being 10-counted out.

Joppy's record is now 39-6-2, 30 KO's. Shumenov is now 11-1, seven KO's.
