“I Bet This Was More Entertaining Than the Actual Fight” – Boxing World Reacts as Crowd Fight Knocks a Man Out Cold

The fight between Ellis Zorro and Hosea Burton has made the headlines, but not for the reason the fans expected it to be. The audience for the fight got into an altercation, and a crowd fight took over the whole place. As the whole hall turned angry at each other, things got heated quickly. Ellis Zorro won the bout via a technical knockout. And it seems as if watching the fight wasn’t enough. It still seems unclear what the reason for this riot among the crowd was and what led to such a drastic change in the environment.

Michael Benson from talkSPORT, took to Twitter to share the video from the riot. The fight and the crowd riot took place at the boxing venue York Hall. The video was originally shared by professional boxer Gyimah Seth, who was present at the venue when this fight among the audience broke out. Everyone in the video can be seen going at each other and not holding back from hitting others present at the venue.

Even so, one man got hurt badly as he was hit by a thrown chair from someone standing across him. Watching the video at first seems surreal. ‘The crowd fight’ broke after the event was over. And it seems like there was an altercation about something among the audience, and they took things a little too far. This video throws a bad light on the sport. But however, it should be kept in mind that this does not represent the sport, rather this is just an act done by some people who came to watch the fight. Not long ago, a street altercation video went viral online.
