“First Career Knockdown”: Fans Blast UFC Fighter for Hitting Pro Boxer From Behind During an All-Out Brawl at DAZN Boxing Event

When you know how to fight, you develop the IQ on how to react when you get into a fight. Even though one is outside the professional combat sports environment, the thrill and the risk remains the same. A recent brawl at a major DAZN event has taken the internet by storm. This all-out brawl occurred at a DAZN boxing event in Milan, Italy. Fans present at the venue for the event did not expect to witness a fighting experience first-hand. This event took place on the night of March 24, and since then, the video has gone viral online.

After watching the video, fans did not hold back from slamming an Italian UFC fighter involved in the brawl. The UFC fighter did something which could be considered unethical in combat sports. And is not well received by people worldwide.

A feisty brawl between a boxer and UFC fighter

Al Zullino took to Twitter to post the video of the brawl breaking out at the DAZN event. An Italian rapper, Tony Effe, started a brawl with a fellow rapper and a professional boxer named Ion. Things could’ve gotten south for Effe, but luckily he is friends with a UFC fighter.

Tony’s dear friend and UFC middleweight, Marvin Vettori, intervened to save his friend. And managed to knock Ion down. But, the way he knocked him down would be considered unethical and against the rules if it occurred inside an octagon. Vettori landed a punch from behind Ion, which eventually stunned the boxer for a bit.

After this, the guards were able to separate them from each other. And the situation at the event got much calmer than before. But, what prevailed in the brawl was not something the fans were expecting and was out of the blue for the people present there. Another public brawl enraged the fans not that long ago.

This Brawl has not left a good imprint on Vettori’s image, and the fans can vouch for that.
