A technical knockout occurs when a referee or ringside doctor halts the fight because a boxer is too injured to safely proceed, even if they have not been knocked unconscious.
Ahead of the highly anticipated clash, the feud between the two content creators had begun on TikTok, quickly escalating into a national talking point.
The rivalry attracted backing from high-profile figures, including business leaders, politicians, and President William Ruto.
Before the fight, Ruto contributed Sh1 million to each boxer for training and purchased 2,000 tickets for fans, bringing his total support to Sh4 million.
