The video is from BOXPARK, Wembley, London. A man is observed raising a commotion by using foul language and attempting to attack security. The security is constantly trying to nudge him but to no avail. Surprisingly, the British boxer, Julius Francis, was also a member of the security crew, and with a single blow, he knocked out the troublemaker. The individual can be seen laying on the ground.
Apparently, 57-year-old Francis is a former boxing champion, who even fought the legend, Mike Tyson, in the year 2000.
How fans reacted when Julius Francis punched the rabble-rouser
The man in BoxPark most likely got into a fight with the wrong person. Security attempted to restrain him several times, but Francis had to take command to keep the situation under control. Here are some of the fans’ reactions to it.
Did his job. Give the man a raise. Noticed how all the other dudes were loud and aggressive and once Francis laid the one out they turned into compliant citizens all of a sudden "why you do that" lmfao.

If this wasn’t a professional boxer I’d say it was justified. But Francis’s doesn’t need to do that. He got caught up in the tension and lost control.
