YOUTUBER “Zuckles” was deducted TWO points for a shocking illegal move on KSI’s undercard.
The Australian – real name Mason Bradford – faced mystery opponent Halal Ham in the Wembley Arena prelim opening bout.
And following three frustrating rounds, Zuckles quite literally threw caution to the wind by unleashing a UFC-style elbow.
It caused chaos in the ring as Ham – real name Hamad Khan – protested alongside his coach.
Zuckles was given a stern two point deduction and was able to see out the third and final round without getting disqualified.
He was beaten on the scorecards but fans were still in shock by his elbow after the result was announced.

And the YouTube star has vowed to leave a statement in the biggest night of his prizefighting career.
He told SunSport: “When I knock out Joe Fournier in spectacular fashion, more people are going to be like, ‘You know what, I think KSI it actually that guy. Maybe it’s not worth fighting him, because I don’t wanna be a meme.'”
In the co-headliner, KSI’s brother Deji, 26, faces rapper Swarmz, 26.
