Imagine attacking your own trainer. Well, that's what this fighter in Bulgaria did following his bout.
From Sofia, Bulgaria, Kubrat Pulev takes on Hughie Fury in an IBF heavyweight eliminator. Of course, Anthony Joshua currently holds the IBF world title.
But before Hughie Fury stepped into the ring, an extraordinary moment occurred on the under-card.

A fighter attacked his own trainer who slapped him back. The pair then go at it before the referee intervenes.

Utter madness.

The combatant who went berserk lost the bout.
You definitely won't be getting that from Peter and Hughie Fury. The father and son boxing act prepare for their hardest challenge in the shape of Pulev.
Whilst Pulev is a tough opponent, Hughie Fury is confident of beating the home-fighter.
"Pulev is a tough opponent but this is the best I have ever felt going into a fight both physically and mentally and I'm ready to go there and get the win," he said.
Peter Fury details a fighters training method and discusses mental ability.

"I know about the scientific stuff but you can over exaggerate boxing," he said.
"Sometimes the most simple methods get lost. Ultimately, if a fighter can fight, he can train in a hay barn.
"I don't think anyone can tell me about training and what my fighters need to do. You've never ever seen any of my fighters not being able to do the rounds.
"More so than anything, to be a world-level boxer you have to have the skill. You have to implement the skill and do things differently in that ring.

"At world level, if you only have two gears and your opponent has 10, you're in serious trouble.
"The human mind runs everything, it is an incredible thing. If you haven't got the mental ability to accept what I am telling you and you can't dig deep to have that mental will to take you through hard times, then you're not going to be a world champion."
Will Hughie Fury record his 22nd professional victory?
