A boxer's brother once climbed onto the ring apron and struck the opponent of the fighter he was supporting.
The incident took place at a Boxeo Telemundo event back in 2017 and it was Joshua 'Killa' Pagan taking on Jose 'Little Pacquiao' Resendiz.
Resendiz had Pagan in the corner and was dominating, until Israel Pagan jumped onto the apron and struck him on the head.
Crazy stuff.

The initial reaction of those around the situation assumed it was a member of Pagan's entourage trying to stop the fight.
One YouTube commentator said the interaction should have led to a disqualification and it was a shame to boxing.
Security immediately jumped in to intervene and he was quickly ushered away.
It is arguable that the man is not a true boxing fan considering he interrupted the flow of the contest and tried to hurt a participant.

Both fighters were undefeated rising stars going into the match meaning it was an important showdown.
Pagan eventually went on to seal the victory.
Fans attacking sportsmen or women is never acceptable and there was a high profile case of it in English football earlier this year.

Aston Villa's Jack Grealish was attacked during the Midlands derby against Birmingham City back in March.
The young Englishman had his head turned and was walking away from the oncoming fan when the man smacked him round the back of the neck and floored him.
Grealish had the last laugh on the day as he went on to score the winner for his boyhood club.

WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart was also assaulted by a fan at WWE's Hall of Fame Ceremony in April.
The former wrestling superstar was in the middle of giving his acceptance speech at the Barclays Centre, Brooklyn, when a young fan came charging from out of the crowd, slid into the ring and jumped on Hart.
No matter the circumstances, attacking sportsmen in the ring as well as out of it is disgusting.
