A former UFC heavyweight champion was involved in a brawl with four people after Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua.
Following fears that the fight would eventually be called off, Paul actually stepped into the boxing ring to face former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua on Friday night.
After several dismal rounds of Paul running around the ring dodging Joshua while offering little output, the influencer was defeated by knockout in the sixth round.
Given the magnitude of the blockbuster fight, several big names were spotted ringside for the fight, including 2025 Sports Personality of the Year winner Rory McIlroy and former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis.

But it appears that not all of the notable names watching the fight managed to keep their calm during the evening, as a former UFC champion was later spotted brawling with an influencer and two others post-fight.
Throughout his online career, Jack Doherty has been involved in several controversies involving prank videos or stunts.
The 22-year-old was in attendance at Paul v Joshua and decided to livestream throughout the entire night at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.
During his evening, Doherty bumped into former UFC heavyweight Andre Arlovski and, although it's unclear if he meant to create drama with the former champion, things didn't end well.
In a clip from the livestream, Doherty can be seen walking into Arlovski backstage at the fight, with the UFC legend then kicking him Dogerty the back to start a wild scrap with streamer and his entourage.
Two of the influencer’s friends reacted by throwing punches at ‘The Pitbull’ before a security guard stepped in to get split up the brawl.
But the security guard wasn't able to stop the UFC fighter quickly, who managed to drop one of the pair attacking him, kicking him while he was on the floor before swinging at the remaining attacker.
Meanwhile Doherty hid behind his own private security, waiting until his group eventually attackers backed off, with other bystanders stepping in to finally put an end to the tense situation.
Arvloski's last fight in the UFC was a split decision loss to Martin Buday in June 2024.
Overall, he boasts a professional MMA record of 34 wins and 24 losses with two no-contests.
Since leaving the UFC, Arlovski has competed in several different organisations, with his most recent bout being a knockout win in a boxing fight with reality TV star and influencer Kelechi "Kelz" Dyke at a Misfits Boxing event in November.
In his next fight, the Belarusian fighter will challenge Ben Rothwell for the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship heavyweight title on February 7.
