Former middleweight champion Michael Nunn's career is marked by stunning victories, unparalleled moments, and sometimes, unexpected setbacks. Recalling his match against Sumbu Kalambay, Nunn shared the exhilaration of delivering a first-round knockout against a formidable opponent who had previously never lost to an American middleweight. The bout, initially planned to unify the belts, saw Nunn taking down Kalambay within 88 seconds in what became one of the fastest knockouts in middleweight history. Celebrating his crowning achievement, Nunn was awarded a $1 million prize for his groundbreaking win, his largest haul at the time. However, in a bizarre twist, the victory celebrations led to the temporary misplacement of the million-dollar check. After realizing the check was lost, the champion faced a harrowing wait before an employee discovered it at the hotel. Nunn's relieved gratitude culminated in rewarding the staff member.
