Crowd violence marred a top event at Palais des Sports Marcel Cerdan in Hauts-de-Seine, France on Saturday night as one of the contests was forced to be abandoned.
As the vacant International Boxing Organization super-lightweight title contest between Marvin Petit and Samir Kasmi reached the seventh round, there was no way the match could continue due to an eruption of shocking trouble involving supporters and some involved in the fight at ringside.
Petit, Kasmi and members of their respective teams fled the ring in fear as flying chairs and debris added to the punches and kicks being thrown.
Several people were hurt during the brawl, which is now being investigated by the French authorities.
