Fastest KO in Amateur Boxing History was 4 Seconds
According to Guinness World Records, the fastest knockout in amateur boxing history was just four seconds back in 1947. That happened during a Golden Gloves tournament in Minneapolis, Minnesota when Mike Collins dropped Pat Brownson with a single punch.
Just like in Estrada’s super fast knockout win, the referee for that fight waved it off without a count.

More About Fastest KO in Boxing History
While Estrada, 28, etched her name into the history books on Friday night, it also has to be noted that the fastest knockout in boxing history came against a fighter that was hopelessly outclassed.
Adkins, 42, was a late replacement opponent for the injured Jacky Calvo. After the latter was forced off the card due to a knee injury, Adkins stepped in on late notice to face Estrada.
“I give her so much respect. She’s the one who stepped up and took the fight,” Estrada said during the post-fight interview. “I knew I had more experience than her.”
There was a clear disparity in class between the two fighters. Estrada is an elite world-class professional prizefighter. Meanwhile, Adkins had just started boxing at age 39 as a way of dealing with the death of her mother.
Adkins’ undefeated record was a product of her stopping five opponents who had never won a fight. Four of them were making their professional debuts, and all five fights happened in the Midwestern part of the United States.
So Estrada entered the fight knowing her job was to get her opponent out as quickly as possible, and that’s what she did.
“Once I went in there, I let my punches go and couldn’t stop,” Estrada said. “She’s in there to hurt me as well so I went for the knockout.”
