Former schoolteacher Jeff Horn stunned champion Manny Pacquiao to win the WBO world welterweight title with a unanimous points decision in Brisbane.<\/p>\n

The three judges scored the fight 117-111, 115-113, 115-113 to the 29-year-old Australian at Lang Park.<\/p>\n

“That’s the decision of the judges. I respect that,” said 38-year-old Pacquiao.<\/p>\n

The Filipino, an eight-weight world champion, has now lost four of his past nine fights.<\/p>\n

Horn, 29, was aggressive from the opening bell, although Pacquiao’s left jabs scored points in the early stages.<\/p>\n

Horn, who has now won 17 and drawn one of his 18 bouts, caused Pacquiao problems during the middle rounds and cut him above both eyes.<\/p>\n

The veteran fought back with a brilliant counter-attack in the ninth round, only for Horn to win the 10th.<\/p>\n

Both fighters tired in the final two rounds, with Horn’s good work in the opening stages proving enough for a famous win.

Who is Jeff Horn?<\/h3>\n

Horn, nicknamed ‘The Hornet’, grew up in Brisbane and first walked into a boxing club 11 years ago to learn self-defence.<\/p>\n

While studying for his degree, he reached the quarter-finals of the London 2012 Olympics, turned professional soon after and made his debut in 2013.<\/p>\n

Horn, who until recently taught students at Pallara State School in Brisbane, won prize money sometimes as low as A$2,000 (\u00a31,100).<\/p>\n

Reports claim<\/i>\u00a0he won a guaranteed $500,000 (\u00a3383,832) from his fight against Pacquiao.<\/p>\n
