A man with alleged links to the Lone Wolf bikie gang has been charged and two others are being investigated over a wild crowd brawl during Tim Tszyu’s headline fight with Takeshi Inoue.
Ethan Stephenson, 26, was allegedly involved in an affray during the 11th round of the main bout at Qudos Bank Arena on Wednesday night.
Police sources said it is alleged he is an associate of the Lone Wolf outlaw motorcycle gang.
As the main event closed in on the final rounds the brawl among patrons caught their eye, with hundreds standing up clearly more interested in the punches being thrown outside of the ring.
It is understood police will allege the victim – a 44-year-old man – was spotted in the crowd by three men and chased, leading him to run away.
Moments later a brawl allegedly ensued in a stadium tunnel and police and security guards intervened.
“Just before 11.30pm, security and police responded to reports of an alleged affray at the arena, involving four men – two aged 26, one aged 44, and one aged 56,” NSW Police said in a statement.
“Following inquiries, police issued a 26-year-old man with a court attendance notice for the offence of affray.”
