BOXING fans were left stunned when a cameraman struck a fighter during the Misfits Show.
The incident happened as Corn unleashed a flurry of punches on rival Unbaer, who was pinned up on the ropes.
Behind them was a cameraman who was too close to the action.
As Unbaer was slumped over the ropes, it appeared that he backed into the cameraman on the ring apron.
Trying not to lose his balance, he frantically appeared to grab hold of the ropes.
Instead, he accidentally struck Unbaer on the head.

However, some fans have reacted differently on Twitter – claiming they believe the cameraman hit Unbaer on purpose.
“Immediately fire this fool. No camera man should be putting hands on fighters AT ALL,” influencer boxing pundit Wade Plemons said.
Another said: “During con vs unbaer match a camera man was beating @Unbaer0 face needs to be BANNED for life I’ve seen troll accs on twitter making bread for that s***. This s*** ain’t that funny. He is a human, and needs to be respected.”
But others questioned why a cameraman would feel the need to slap Unbaer.

“Y’all are coming after the camera man, but look closely. He clearly tried grabbing the rope, and notice how the camera starts to dip. He obviously didn’t want to be filming the floor, so had to quickly revert back to holding it properly,” another chimed in.
A fourth added: “He reached for the rope and missed. Simples!”

The influencer boxing clash took place in Nashville, US, and was a rematch of their bout two months ago.
Unbaer was victorious via a controversial split decision in their first meeting on May 13.
But, Corn got his revenge on Saturday night at the Misfits Boxing Show to leave it open for a trilogy fight in the near future.
