    The fight was only in the second round when the Pole appeared to completely forget the rules after he had rocked his rival and appeared to be closing in on an upset.Viewers and the crowd watched on in disbelief as Sianos, instead of continuing his flurry of punches, went for an MMA-style takedown.Then he unleashed some huge ground strikes after flooring Bizewski, leading to an obvious disqualification.However, punters in attendance were furious, with a horde of angry fans trying to storm the ring and throw objects at Sianos, who had to be escorted from the ring by security.READ MORE ON SPORTFootage of the bizarre incident soon started to spread on social media, and it did not take long for the trolls to come out and make fun.“You can’t do that fella,” joked one.Another commented “oops wrong sport” as a fellow X user said: “just muscle memory”.A fourth said: “These MMA fighters they always forget themselves wether they’re in the boxing ring or in the cage.”Most read in BoxingBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSEven 8-7 MMA ace Sianos himself got involved, posting a statement on social media this morning.He wrote on Instagram: “I would like to refer to my fight yesterday.

I didn’t knock anyone out or elbow anyone, we were training pure boxing.“I myself can’t explain my behaviour yesterday. I guess I might not be in a professional boxing ring anymore. But I personally think that victory by disqualifying your opponent is not something to be proud of.“I do not consider myself a loser, nor Artur Bizewski a winner. If PUB, Rocky Boxing Night and Artur Bizewski agree to resolve the duel again, then I declare that all my gambling, regardless of the result of the fight, I will spend it to the charity goal pointed out by my opponent!“I wouldn’t like to be seen in a negative way, I’ve never experienced any similar behaviour in my entire 20 year career and I wouldn’t want this one off incident to affect my sportsmanship.“Shout out to all my loyal supporters and thanks for all the positive and negative comments.” More

    Dillian Whyte CLEARED to resume boxing career after positive drugs test cancelled Anthony Joshua clash

    DILLIAN WHYTE has been cleared to box again after an investigation found his positive doping test was caused by a contaminated supplement.Whyte was scheduled to face off with Anthony Joshua last August but the fight was shelved after the 35-year-old returned “adverse analytical findings” in a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association test.Dillian Whyte was due for a rematch with AJ last AugustCredit: AFPHe is now clear to fight againCredit: APWhyte, who trains in the United States with Buddy McGirt and is licenced by the Texas Department of Licencing and Regulation, was found to be the innocent victim of contamination from a nutritional supplement.The new results follow on from an extensive investigation.Sky Sports, who exclusively accessed the documents used in the investigation, report the documentation as saying: “[M]y expert view is that Mr. Whyte was the victim of a contaminated supplement that did not disclose [the contaminant] among its ingredients and he did not ingest the [contaminant] intentionally.”Speaking to Sky Sports, Whyte said: “It’s been really tough, because I knew I was innocent, but then you can’t talk, you can’t say nothing.”You have to be professional, trust the process, trust the lawyers and trust the people around you.

Bourland with a 17-2 record looked on paper to be the toughest test of Paul’s career but in reality it was another write off. Paul, 27, wasted no time in going after it from the first bell and following an onslaught in the corner, Bourland, 35, dropped to the floor before the referee stepped in. The American social media sensation was heard apologising to the camera after the two-minute whitewash.
