Anthony "The Messenger" Thompson won the WBC JMW title in Denmark tonight with a brutal left hook KO of Reda Zam Zam.

Thompson really gave the champ a brutal beating during the fight before finally ending it in the 10th.

Reda was attempting to defend his belt for the 4th time, he'd beaten the tough Travis Simms in Sept. by a 15 SD but The Messenger's left hook landed via special delivery!

Thompson becomes a world champ again & improved to 15-2 with 7 KO's - his 2 losses to Miguel Cotto. He lost the WBA belt to Cotto due to a 3rd round TKO when he missed with a huge left hook & injured his shoulder. Cotto granted him a rematch in July but Thompson lost that fight as well - also due to injury (a TKO cut win for Cotto).

Reda drops to 7-1 with 5 KO's.
