Boxing is a sport not for the faint of heart as it requires fighters to physically cause harm to each other. This leads the fighters to be under constant threat of becoming seriously injured during fights. There are some fights that are far more brutal than others providing fans with some vicious and gut-wrenching knockouts. One such fight has taken over the internet for its brutal ending with one fighter taking a career-ending punch. Moreover, boxing legend Mike Tyson‘s son also shared a video of this fight but didn’t give the reaction fans were hoping for as he tried to mock the fighter who suffered from the devastating knockout.

Mike Tyson’s son reacts to scary knockout leaving a fighter badly injured

Tyson’s oldest son Amir shared the video posted by ESPN Ringside on his Instagram story. In the video, the fighter who was knocked out can be seen trying to stand up. However, he is unable to do so as he dazed around the ring, probably not having understood that he was knocked out. In addition, the referee also gives him a 10-count to recover instead of stopping the fight. Tyson’s son reacted to the video by posting laughing emojis while sharing the clip.

However, the fans were not on the same page as Amir as they were genuinely concerned about the fighter who was knocked out. Some took it to the comments section to express their concern for the fighter as they reacted to this video.

The fans had some sympathy for the fighter who got knocked out but was still trying to get back to his feet. However, in a sport like boxing these things do happen a lot but it is the job of a referee to see if a fighter is capable of competing. In addition, fighter safety should be prioritized more than anything and minimize any lapse of judgment from the officials. This would only prove to benefit the sport which does need some changes in how it is officiated.
