Sometimes it’s important to keep a weapon in the car’s trunk for safety. However, as Bruce Lee once said, “There’s no weapon more deadly than the will.” This quote was taken to heart by a 68-year-old boxing fan, and as a result, he kept boxing gloves inside his car’s trunk. Well, this showed his true love for the sweet science, and even offered to square with his opponent.
In a viral video of a boxing fan, two men were creating havoc in the middle of a highway and talked about how the other driver was just being a menace. Even though there weren’t any physical fights, the fans were surprised to see boxing gloves being taken out in the middle of the street, how the fan challenged his opponent to square up on the road itself.

This didn’t sit well with him, which turned into a huge debacle between the two. While talking, both involve their weapons in the fight.
