Wright landed a devastating right hand that sent his opponent Houston Nole crashing to the canvas in the first round of their featherweight bout. As Nole lay motionless on the mat, Wright kneeled down and gestured to the crowd to stop cheering the violent finish.
The knockout was captured on video by Fury FC and Grabaka Hitman, and can be seen below . Wright’s gesture was met with applause and appreciation from the fans and commentators, who praised him for his class and respect.

He had suffered a second-round knockout loss in his previous fight against Jalen Fuller at Fury FC 77.
