BOXER Brandon Adams entered the ring dressed as Super Mario’s rival Bowser – but then struggled to get out of the outfit.
The middleweight, who rose to fame after winning the reality TV show The Contender last year, only took the fight on a week’s notice.

But his two round demolition job against Sonny Duversonne will be more remembered for his ring walk and attire.
Adams made the walk with Bowser’s classic turtle backpack, but had problems trying to get it off.
Eventually, he succeeded in time to hear the referee’s final words.
Adams finished the fight after pinning Duversonne into the corner and letting his hands go.
With left and right hooks flying in to head and body, the ref finally saw enough and waved it off.
After the win, Adams said: “I’m not prepared to turn nothing down.
“If the opportunity presents itself, you damn right we gonna fight.”
The 31-year-old beat Shane Mosley Jr – son of a legend – to win The Contender last year.
It earned him a shot at Jermall Charlo’s WBC title, which he lost on points.
Adams returned for the first time since the defeat, taking his record to 22-3.
