Former schoolteacher Jeff Horn stunned world champion Manny Pacquiao to win the World Boxing Organisation welterweight crown with a unanimous points decision in front of 50,000 fans in Brisbane on Sunday.
After being given no chance by most, the 29-year-old Horn's ultra-aggressive style proved too much for Pacquiao, with all three judges giving the fight to the Australian after 12 rounds.
The unheralded former schoolteacher, who improved his record to 18-0-1, was adjudged the winner over the eight-division world champion by scores of 117-111, 115-113 and 115-113.
