Boxing has become a sport with no boundaries. Anyone can lace gloves and get into the ring and showcase his/her art at the cost of getting hit back. But now even the ring is necessary. Recently, two guys used their bare-knuckle skills inside the telephone booth to decide the ultimate champion.

The video of this fight circulated on social media and became a matter of concern. Because it was not a random fight between two people. It was an organized event where two professional fighters were trapped inside the telephone booth.

The referee was also there to adjudicate, but he was also kept out of the booth. The fight opened up pretty fast and ended with even faster. Both fighters unleashed everything within them. After 15 seconds of a slugfest, one guy got knocked out.

Till the fight came to an end, both fighters made more than 100 swings. A few landed, a few missed, but overall there was no space for defense. So whoever got better conditioning was more likely to win this contest.

On the scale of sport, this bout seemed unreasonable. It was more a brutal and less skilled form of combat sport where a fighter was not getting proper space to showcase his skills.

How did fans react to the telephone booth fight?

A fan wrote, “McGregor vs Diaz 3 in the phone box? What we saying?” Why would the UFC plan to do this when they got the octagon for the fight?
