Things were going well for Sabri Sediri in his title fight with Sam Maxwell until he began to celebrate before it was over. Oops.
England’s Sam Maxwell surprised France's Sabri Sediri during their WBO European super lighweight championship bout Saturday. By Cindy Boren Cindy Boren Reporter covering sports, with an emphasis on politics and national stories Email Bio Follow March 25 at 8:20 AM A 25-year-old French boxer learned the hard way, at the wrong end of a fist, that it isn’t over until it’s over.
Sabri Sediri was seemingly on his way to victory Saturday night in their WBO European super lightweight title fight at Morningside Arena Leicester. He knew it, he felt it. After all, he had knocked Maxwell down twice and, with victory a mere minute away in the 10th round, he had staggered Maxwell with a blow.
Then, in an unfortunate decision, he pantomimed taking a bow and started dancing around, with his hands behind his back at one point, as Maxwell threw punches. With about 14 seconds left, Maxwell’s punch hit home and sent Sediri sprawling.

He’s now 10-1-1.
