Unprecedented Sportsmanship: Boxer Cedes Victory in Emotional 'Sztárbox' Finale

Budapest, Hungary – In a truly unprecedented turn of events at the 'Sztárbox' celebrity boxing match on September 28, 2025, Kocsis Dénes, despite being declared the victor by the judges, made a remarkable decision to relinquish his win to opponent Papai Joci. The match, which saw Papai Joci initially announced as the winner by a narrow split decision, culminated in a moment of profound sportsmanship that captivated the audience. Following the announcement, a visibly emotional Kocsis Dénes addressed the crowd, sharing a deeply personal account of his past struggles with bullying and how the sport of boxing became his path to healing and self-acceptance. "The truth is, I was bullied a lot in elementary school, and this was the biggest fight for me, to overcome this pain and hurt," Dénes stated, his voice thick with emotion. He continued, expressing gratitude to everyone who believed in him and accepted him for who he is. In a move that stunned both the hosts and the cheering crowd, Dénes then declared, "I believe that my sense of justice does not allow me to go forward. Even though I was the better one, I am giving this to you." He then embraced Papai Joci, effectively ceding his victory. The supervisor, Koko, was called upon to clarify the rules regarding such an extraordinary gesture. He confirmed that while unusual, if a fighter chooses not to proceed, the opponent advances. Consequently, Kocsis Dénes will advance to the semi-finals, a decision met with mixed reactions of surprise and admiration from the commentators and spectators alike.
