The security team at Friday’s Misfits Boxing 18 weigh-ins certainly earned their paychecks.
Ahead of Saturday’s Misfits Boxing event in Newcastle, England, heavyweights Big Tobz and Kelz had an intense faceoff on stage. Eventually, Kelz would whisper something into the ear of his opponent, before putting his hand on Big Tobz’s face. From there, all hell broke loose, and it took nearly a dozen security members to keep them separated.
Check out video of the skirmish below.
Both social media influencers will be competing in the boxing ring for the first time when they settle their differences in the squared circle.
Misfits Boxing 18 will be headlined by a women’s middleweight championship contest between titleholder Elle Brooke and BKFC veteran Jenny Savage. The card will also feature the first round of the Stake pro tournament, which includes a bout between former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson and past Bellator and UFC vet Chris Avila.
