WARZONE World Championship organiser (WWC) and Semboyan founder suffered a humbling defeat against Indonesian pugilist Yunus Martin, 30, during the main event at Warzone World Championship (WWC) held last night at N9 Arena in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan.
Yusuf Azmi, 35, was forced to accept defeat in the highly anticipated bout. The match opened with intensity as the Malaysian came out aggressively, landing several powerful punches in the opening round that drew enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.
However, the tide turned as the fight progressed into the third round. Fatigue became evident, visibly affecting Yusuf’s rhythm and performance. Meanwhile, his Indonesian opponent grew increasingly aggressive, launching a relentless barrage of strikes.
The sustained assault forced Yusuf’s corner to make a difficult decision. With just 22 seconds remaining in the round, his team threw in the white towel, signalling to the referee to stop the contest.
Officials declared Yunus the winner by technical knockout (TKO), marking his first victory on Malaysian soil.
Following the event, video footage capturing critical moments from the match went viral on social media. The clips showed Yusuf struggling to maintain his balance, appearing unsteady on his feet, and fighting to stay upright in the ring. These dramatic scenes quickly caught the attention of spectators and online audiences alike.
The comment sections across various platforms filled with mixed reactions from netizens discussing the footage and the bout’s outcome.

While another TikTok user @BayMax11 said: “(The bout) was like P.Ramlee boxing movie.”
