"That is a vicious knock out blow," Australian boxing great Billy Dib said on commentary.
"That's got to be knock out of the year.
"He bided his time and went bang! He was asleep straight away."
It is Schleibs' first win since 2019, with the 30-year-old celebrating his win with fighting words
"I'm coming for everyone," he said to the camera.
In Schleibs' post-fight interview, he was emotional when recounting his journey to take his first victory in four years.
"Nine months without my kid. Crying everyday before training. I love you Oscar, I hope you're proud of me son," he said.
"As long as you love me son, I'm always going to be a world champion.
"My mum, in and out of the psych (psychiatric) ward, looking after her. Just a lot of relief."
