Jeff Horn has defeated Manny Pacquiao by unanimous decision to win the world welterweight title.

All three judges scored the bout for Horn 117-111, 115-113 and 115-113.

The fight took place before an estimated crowd of 60,000 at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Sunday morning Australia time and was broadcast live Saturday night on ESPN in the U.S. It was Pacquiao's first non-pay-per-view fight since September 2005.

Horn (17-0-1, 11 KOs), a 2012 Australian Olympian, entered the fight as a heavy underdog and scored by far the biggest victory of his career.
