Sanders, the former WBO and WBU heavyweight champion, made a comeback at the age of 42 and lasted only 2 minutes and 41 seconds against SA heavyweight champion Osborne Machimane.
With former world champion Mike Tyson watching from ringside, Sanders went down from a left hook to the side of the rib cage and he waited, sensibly, for referee Jaap van Nieuwenhuizen to stop counting before he got up.

Sanders, showing no rippling muscles in his 108.62kg body, will probably retire with his record at 42-3; 31 after one of those sad comebacks that have been part of boxing for more than a century.
He was in no shape to fight six rounds, let alone fit enough to take on the 29-year-old national champion, who came in at 112.14 kg.
Machimane may never become a world champion but he will be able to tell his grandchildren one day of the night Mike Tyson watched him knock out a former world champion in the first round.
