Boxing is one of the most loved sports in the world. Over the course of time, the sport has become much more competitive and pugilists have turned super aggressive. This is because fans like seeing some action inside the squared circle and this is what they pay for. But at times, too much violence becomes extremely scary for fighters competing on the biggest of stages.
One such intimidating and perhaps spine-chilling incident took place in 2019 when Charles Conwell met Patrick Day inside the boxing ring. The duo was slated to take each other on in a USBA super-welterweight title fight.
