Photos: “Undefeated” Boxing & Kickboxing Event
People made their way to the Fairmont Southampton for the ‘Undefeated’ Boxing and Kickboxing event this weekend, with a sold-out crowd joined by virtual viewers worldwide via the online pay per view.
The headline match of the night was between Bermuda’s Nikki Bascome and Portugal’s Fabio Costa, which ended with Costa knocking out Bascome. The two fighters exchanged blows in the early rounds, with Costa eventually getting the better of Bascome, knocking the boxer to the ground.
The Bermudian fighter got up momentarily, then staggered back into the ropes, causing Costa and his supporters to begin their jubilant celebration. Once Bascome recovered and got to his feet, he immediately walked over to Costa to congratulate him, with both fighters earning applause from the crowd.

I have no complaints. But. Pole dancing. Really?
Takes a lot to train diligently and step into the ring. Well done for all the fighters who had the guts to get up there and compete.
Well said! Get ‘em next time Nikki!
It was certainly an exciting night! Thanks to the promoters for putting on a first class event and to all of the fighters as well. Kudos to Fabio Costa for his win. Nikki is definitely a class act and will undoubtedly bounce back from this defeat. Love you Nikki – Fresh & Hungry!
