Boxers are trained to showcase their beauty by hitting inside the ring, but sometimes boxers like Shakur Stevenson forget that throwing a fist outside of the ring is not appropriate. The Olympic silver medalist had once instigated a brutal exchange with a group of people that included two women and a man.

The gruesome video displayed the WBO junior lightweight titleholder, unloading a flurry of punches on a lady and a man. This all happened years ago when the undefeated boxer was out to celebrate his 21st birthday at the Miami beach.

The clip showed that Stevenson was not alone. There was one more associate boxer, David Grayton, along with him in a parking lot. The videotape showed Stevenson wearing black pants and a long-sleeve T-shirt, hitting a lady on the back of her head. Meanwhile, Grayton, in a white vest and shorts, approached the second woman and hit her to the floor. While falling on the floor, her head hit an ATM.

In the process, Stevenson stumbled and fell to the ground, but it did not stop him from beating a man who fought back.

While Grayton remained to engage with the lady, Stevenson gave back-to-back hooks and uppercuts to the man, sending him to his knees, unconscious. Before fleeing the scene, the pair of boxers kicked a man who was laying hurt already.
