Boxer accidentally punches himself in the face, wins fight

A boxer has gone viral after he was spotted accidentally punching himself in the face during his fight on the Tyson Fury undercard.

British heavyweight boxer Johnny Fisher has gone viral after fans noticed he punched himself during his win on the Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk undercard.

Fisher was fighting fellow Brit David Allen on the undercard in what turned out to be an epic heavyweight battle.

Fisher is the son of popular social media personality Big John, who known for his large takeaway meals and catch phrase “Le Bosh”.

The 25-year-old was knocked down in the fifth round by Allen, who had the advantage as the 10-round fight wore on.

Most onlookers believed Allen did more than enough to get the win, but there was surprise in Riyadh’s Kingdom Arena when Fisher was given the win via split decision.

Two judges scored the fight 95-94 for Fisher and one judged scored it 96-93 to Allen.

Fisher (13-0) looked significantly more bruised after the fight and was seen trying to unclench his jaw, which appeared to be broken.

That may have been caused by Allen’s punches or a self-inflicted blow spotted by boxing fans, who noticed Fisher gave himself an uppercut when the two fighters were exchanging some blows in close.

One fan wrote on X: “Why do I feel like that was one of the better shots landed in that fight.”

The fight was for the vacant WBC intercontinental heavyweight championship, and boxing pundits were convinced Allen (23-7) was robbed.

The DAZN commentator said: “That right there is nonsense! That fight was won by Dave Allen. He had the better moments. That was a slugfest. Allen deserved to win that fight.”

Boxing is broken.

Dave Allen battered Johnny Fisher from round 4, dropped him..but Eddie Hearn’s man gets the win.

I’m not surprised anymore.

It’s daylight robbery.

And it’s why UFC is growing, because fans see the BS for what it is.

One Direction Star Louis Tomlinson posted: “What an incredible performance from Dave Allen with so much on the line and so much pressure. Absolutely robbed from the judges. You did yourself proud mate!”

Veteran boxing reporter Dan Rafael wrote on X: “Fisher-Allen goes 10. Tremendous battle! Allen won that fight.” After the scorecards came in, he said: “I don’t agree at all. House fighter gets the nod.”

Main Event’s Ben Damon said: “Tough effort from Dave Allen who deserved to win that fight. Poor judging.”
