Many personalities in sports advocate training for boxing. It teaches discipline and hard work amongst other things. However, not everyone has the same motives to train in boxing. Charlie Zelenoff is one such example who trained in boxing to be an internet troll and a bully. He is notoriously known for sparring with people who are vulnerable and have poorer skillset compared to him.

For many years, he has been trolling professional boxers on the internet. In 2014, he abused the daughter of heavyweight boxer Deontay Wilder online which did not sit well with him. Wilder thereafter went to a gym in Los Angeles where he recorded himself beating up Zelenoff. The same went viral in the boxing community and Zelenoff was considered an infamous troll ever since.

Recently, a video went viral on Twitter posted by @BoxingKingdom14. It featured Zelenoff bullying people at boxing gyms and also sucker- punching them at times. The video is a montage of clips showing how he landed punches on unsuspecting novices, knocking some of them out. And then in the final sequence, Zelenoff meets a seasoned boxer who shows the bully his rightful place.

It did not end well for him when he decided to square off against a 16-year-old amateur boxer. The teenager was levels above him in skillset. As they squared off inside the ring, Zelenoff just stood there and took a beating from the boxer who landed sharp punches on him. He dominated him to a point that the bully had to slip out of the ring through the ropes, asking for a “timeout”.

Zelenoff  again went inside the ring for round two. This time Zelenoff was wildly swinging but missed most of his punches as the young boxer turned out to be an artful dodger. Eventually, realizing he was no match for the teenager, Zelenoff started to flee only to be followed by the 16-year-old boxer who continued to terrorize him with brutal punches until he was tackled to the ground. It was raining punches and kicks upon Zelenoff from there on in until a man in the gym had to step in and break the one-sided beatdown.

The fight continued thereafter but Zelenoff eventually called it quits and walked off the ring.

The fans thoroughly enjoyed the bully getting beaten up. Here are a few fan reactions to ‘The Boxing Kingdom’  tweet:

One fan called out Zelenoff for asking for a timeout in the middle of a sparring session. @CatACor21 wrote: “Time out? Now how does that work? Was he looking for the tag team or….”

While another identified the bully to be the same guy Wilder had a sparring session with. @Punkass11: That’s Charlie the guy Wilder beat up”

Another found it satisfying to see the bully get beaten up. @TechNoir80s wrote: Brilliant. Kid was class. So satisfying. If he was such a coward he was going to sleep.”
