The former heavyweight fighter Julius Francis participated in several noteworthy fights in the 90s and early 2000s. The opponents he faced were the former two-time heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and Vitali Klitschko. Fortunately, if the heckler had this information, he would have never come across him at BOXPARK Wembley, where the 58-year-old was serving as a security guard.

In his opinion, the video showed a very small part. The Heckler was creating a disturbance for a while. Probably drunk, the man initiated the drama inside. When he was pushed out, he started it doing there. So finally, after dealing with him politely, Francis unleashed the right hook.
