Boxers are unquestionably the people with the most powerful fists. Even if their strength is limited to the boxing ring, there are moments when the athletes have to use it outside of it. A man was causing trouble in London recently, and this is what a former boxer had to do to him.
Former British heavyweight champion Julius Francis (who fought Mike Tyson) now working as security at BOXPARK Wembley and dealing with some trouble today…

The video is from BOXPARK, Wembley, London. A man is observed raising a commotion by using foul language and attempting to attack security. The security is constantly trying to nudge him but to no avail. Surprisingly, the British boxer, Julius Francis, was also a member of the security crew, and with a single blow, he knocked out the troublemaker. The individual can be seen laying on the ground.

How fans reacted when Julius Francis punched the rabble-rouser
The man in BoxPark most likely got into a fight with the wrong person. Security attempted to restrain him several times, but Francis had to take command to keep the situation under control. Here are some of the fans’ reactions to it.
Did his job. Give the man a raise. Noticed how all the other dudes were loud and aggressive and once Francis laid the one out they turned into compliant citizens all of a sudden "why you do that" lmfao.

If this wasn’t a professional boxer I’d say it was justified. But Francis’s doesn’t need to do that. He got caught up in the tension and lost control.

A Tyson fan had a quote relevant to the situation.
As Tyson said: "Everyone has a plan until they get the first punch in the mouth."

Surprisingly, Francis’ actions elicited various reactions from fans; we certainly cannot decide whether it is right or wrong.
Tyson’s first fight in Europe against Francis
‘Iron Mike’ got out of jail in the year 1995, but jail time didn’t cease the fire raging inside him. Soon after his release, Tyson resumed boxing. After 5 years of his release, he stepped foot on the European grounds to fight Julius Francis. It took place on January 29, 200o at the M.E.N Arena in Manchester, England.
