Solutions

1:D - Ali quit the sport too late. After winning all but two of his first 57 fights, he lost three of his final four., 2:D - Adams retired last year for medical reasons. She only had six bouts in the professional ranks but did pick up a world title in that time., 3:C - It was a strange fight. After Tyson dominated the first two rounds, Golota told his cornermen to stop the fight. “Don’t you dare you fucking cocksucker,” said his trainer in response, but Golota had made up his mind. He left the ring to a chorus of boos. Yet, as far as the record books are concerned, he didn’t lose. , 4:C - Deakin finally won again – nearly a decade after his debut – in 2015. After the fight he tweeted: “I’m back.”, 5:B - Mayweather only won once by knockout in the last five years of his career – and that was against Conor McGregor, who had never boxed before., 6:A - The other three also retired undefeated, but none of them fought as many times as Marciano. Calzaghe came close, winning all 46 of his pro fights., 7:C - Hamed fought 37 times and won 36 of them. The exception was his penultimate fight, which he lost to Marco Antonio Barrera on points., 8:C - Fury has never lost – although he came very close in his first fight against Deontay Wilder., 9:C - He also won all 85 of his amateur fights, with 69 knockouts., 10:B - Chávez drew his 88th fight, against Pernell Whitaker in 1993.
