On the undercard of tonight's IBF eliminator bout between Hughie Fury and Kubrat Pulev in Bulgaria, one especially excited boxer began fighting with his own trainer.
Extraordinary scenes before such a big bout, the trainer, responding to the errant punch in his direction, had no qualms about fighting back.
Reportedly coming after the boxer had been defeated, he clearly had no intention of slowing up; the referee having to step in to stop the fighter going after his opponent.
With his trainer attempting to both calm and draw him into the corner, the boxer quickly turned his attention toward this latest peacemaker.
A pretty deplorable act on behalf of the boxer in question, it certainly made for a hugely unusual scenario.
I don’t know who the fighter is, but this fella just did this to his own trainer after his fight here in Bulgaria. He lost the fight btw pic.twitter.com/rxEt1WTphy

Hughie Fury, who will tonight fight for the right to challenge Anthony Joshua to a bout for his IBF heavyweight title, may well find himself in a ring with the British boxer before his cousin Tyson.
