Video: Boxer swings at his own trainer after losing fight, still doesn’t land cleanly

On the undercard of the Kubrat Pulev vs. Hughie Fury fight in Bulgaria, bizarre scenes unfolded at the end of a fight between Georgian light heavyweight Levan Shonia and Spas Genov. The bout went the distance and Shonia was about to lose on the scorecards, but evidently he decided he wasn’t done fighting.

Before the official decision was to be read, Shonia appeared to challenge Genov to another round of fighting, and when the referee intervened, he soon took his frustrations out on his trainer, who was also trying to calm him down. Shonia fired off a right hand that just missed.
