Hong Kong boxing star Rex Tso Sing-yu recorded a comprehensive decision victory in his 57 kilogram bout with Mongolian boxer Kharkhuu Bllguunsaikhan on Friday night at Wan Chai’s Southorn Stadium.

Appearing in the main event of the Ultimate Extreme Fight Hong Kong 2023 card, it was Tso’s first fight on home soil in over four years, and he took a 5-0 clean sweep on the scorecards of the five judges, after three rounds of three minutes.

“I am really happy to fight in Hong Kong again. The training in Mongolia helped me a lot in preparing for this fight,” the 35-year-old Tso said.

“We all witnessed the powerful punches of their boxers and I’d say I did a good job being able to use my skills under such immense pressure.”
