Boxing as a sport has witnessed drastic changes in its events in the recent past. There was a time when this sport was secluded to trained prizefighters and the rivalry between them led to mega-events. World title shots were the most selling fights. However, those days were confined to the early decade of the 21st century. With time, it has undergone several changes.
Now prizefighters are coming from diverse fields like YouTube, other sports, and social media. They are choosing the opponent of their level. Till now it was accepted by fans. But a new event of boxing in Mexico seems to have left the fans stunned. It has raised several questions.
