A routine practice session of boxing showcasing a symbiotic relationship between two athletes immediately took a drastic turn as the rhythmic exchanges escalated into aggressive punches. Even though the viral video shows a glimpse of a controlled practice session, it soon got transformed into an eruption of unbridled aggression.
Seemingly unable to restrain the fiery spirit within, one boxer launches a barrage of punches. However, the other boxer fails to strike him back and chooses to shield himself from the boxing blows. Hence, the scene soon got converted into a battleground.

The usual ebb and flow of the controlled sparring succumbed to an unexpected surge of aggression as one of the boxers fuelled by frustration or anger charged his training partner. While the other box resisted himself from the blows, he did not counter-attack him and chose to remain calm.
The primal instincts of the boxer went overboard submerging the discipline instilled through training. The boxer’s desire to assert dominance acted as a catalyst and resulted in an explosive outburst. Besides, the cornerstone of sparring, that is trust, momentarily gets shattered for the boxing partner who was at the receiving end.
