SYDNEY (AP) — The brother of a boxer who had just won a bout punched the opponent's trainer in the ring in a chaotic post-fight melee at Sydney Arena late Wednesday.
Michael Zerafa received a TKO win when opponent Tommy Browne quit due to a biceps injury after the first round of the catchweight bout.
Zerafa wasn’t happy with his rival retiring in the televised fight, and yelled, “You quit,” when Browne remained on his stool after the second round was set to start.
That triggered a heated argument between Zerafa and Browne's trainer, Tommy Mercuri.
