Frank Bruno knocked Gerrie Coetzee out of the ring in a world title eliminator at Wembley in 1986. Coetzee was out shopping with his wife in the days leading up to the fight and his performance can only be described as pathetic.
Joe Awome and Manny Gabriel both went through the ropes in a domestic heavyweight clash here in the late 1970s.

I'm not sure how accurate it is, but the Errol Flynn movie Gentleman Jim depicts Corbett being knocked out of the ring and into the water during a fight on a harbour.

Same era, Neil Malpass knocked Bruce Grandham out of the ring.
I remember Grandham making some noise in Liverpool back in the 1970s. The American was built like Mike Weaver but lacked Weaver's chin and stamina in a series of exciting fights at the famous old Stadium. Bizarrely, the late 1970s was a golden era for British heavyweight boxing because men like Stan McDermott, Andy Palmer, Joe Awome, Winston Allen, Ricky James, Larry McDonald and Ron McLean could all punch but failed to take a punch and featured in some real thrillers at Wembley and the Albert Hall.

No he didn't! Coetzee was flat on his back on the canvas with his head poking out under the ropes.
Hopkins against Smith is a man getting knocked out of the ring, Dempsey against Firpo etc.

Good one. I don’t think his performance was pathetic, he just got caught
The worst refereeing you'll ever have the misfortune to witness.

Few that spring to mind:
Rahman vs. Maskaev - someone even threw a chair on Steve Smoger's head during the melee at ringside.
And my favourite of all time, in Belgium Randall Bailey picked up Said Ouali and dropped him out of the ring! Bizarrely, Floyd Mayweather was sitting ringside for that fight as well.
