Over the weekend, an unlicensed bout in Dudley, England, witnessed a surprising turn of events. Tyan Booth, a content creator-cum British boxer with a record of 12 wins, 11 defeats, and 5 draws, made headlines in the boxing world. The super-middleweight boxer is a known figure in the sport—not just as a boxer, but as a controversial personality.

Tyan Booth is notorious for making questionable remarks about several prominent names in the sport. In 2018, he was banned by the BBBofC over an insensitive comment passed by him following the death of a boxer, Scott Westgarth. Although his professional license was revoked, that has not stopped him from competing and now he’s made a spectacle for a wholly different reason.

Tyan Booth leaves the fight midway; Fans curious

Recently, Booth made headlines in the boxing world after he left his unlicensed fight mid-way. The bout lasted for three rounds and Booth resorted to taking a leave once the referee denied him a knockdown. Owing to this call, the boxer left the ring in the middle of the fight, which caught the attention of the boxing world. Witnessing a boxer leave mid-way is ubiquitous. A post was made by @EverythingBoxi2, which reported the incident and stated in the post, “In another news, Tyan Booth just walked out of the ring in the middle of his fight.” That is why the fans were in a state of curiosity and with several distinct opinions over it. A fan thought it was unusual for Booth to leave mid-way and called him out for it.

Meanwhile, one speculated why he probably left and claimed that he may not have been compensated well for the bout.

One fan claimed that this was an act done to garner attention.

Another fan found it amusing to see Booth make such an exit and made his disdain for the boxer evident.

Last but not least, one fan did not appreciate the act and felt was it embarrassing for the boxer.
