Jeff Horn produced one of the biggest upsets in Australian boxing history with a unanimous points victory over Manny Pacquiao to claim the WBO welterweight world title in Brisbane.

Few gave the school teacher any hope of beating the Filipino world champion, but despite Pacquiao landing more punches over 12 rounds at Suncorp Stadium, the judges saw Horn as the winner.

It remains to be seen how defeat will affect Pacquiao, but before the fight his trainer Freddie Roach had said he would ask his fighter to retire if he lost.

Horn, a 29-year-old who has improved his record to 18-0-1, was adjudged the winner over the eight-division world champion by scores of 117-111, 115-113 and 115-113.

Roach predicted the fight would be short and sweet but Horn applied pressure in some of the early rounds and Pacquiao needed treatment during the sixth and seventh rounds for a cut that resulted from a clash of heads.
