its amzing this clip has travelled far and wide. My Spanish staff here in Spain had seen it and all they know about boxing is ALI and Tyson.
If he never makes it, at least he'll always be remembered, something like Mitch Green as "that guy who lost a street fight with Tyson". 20 years from now people will still remember "that guy who punched himself in the face by mistake"

For years I've always watched boxers getting ready for their ring walk or just before the fight punching themselves in the face. I always thought one day one will cut themselves. Hatton in particular (especially with his cut history) sometimes used to smash himself about !

There was a Virgil Hill fight in the early 90s in which a TV cameraman swung his camera into the face of Hill's opponent as he sat on the stool between rounds, cutting his eyebrow open and curtailing the fight. I can't remember if it went to a TD or an NC.
