Patong, Phuket– A post-match fracas erupted at a Patong boxing stadium following a Thai boxing contest between competitors from Russia and Ireland.

The incident, which originally took place on May 26th, gained rapid attention after viral footage circulated across various social media platforms.

 

The disorder began shortly after an Irish boxer was declared the victor of a closely contested match, sparking confrontations between supporters of the Russian and Irish athletes. The skirmish escalated onto the boxing stage, where it continued until intervention by stadium security personnel and local law enforcement.

 

In a statement to the Phuket Express, representatives from the Sports Authority of Thailand’s Phuket Office confirmed that the two boxers involved had reconciled with a handshake, bringing the official proceedings to a close.
