Apart from all of that, DAZN also hosted a possible late entry for 2021 knockout of the year, with Conor Benn completely crumpling Chris Algieri with a huge bomb. Benn remained undefeated at 20-0 by scoring multiple knockdowns including that highlight reel knockout finish in the fourth round of their fight.
