Joshua "Too Tuff" Tufte Wins NABA-USA and USBO Heavyweight Titles

Kernersville, North Carolina heavyweight Josh Tufte improved his undefeated record to 12-0 this past Saturday and captured two title belts with a 10-round split decision win over Daniel “The Mountain” Martz in a bout that took place near Martz’s hometown in West Virginia. Daniel Martz’s previously undefeated record dropped to 7-1-1.

The judges scored the fight 97-93 and 96-94 for Tufte and a third judge 96-94 for Martz. Tufte earned the close decision victory by effectively counter-punching his hard-hitting much taller opponent.
