Mass brawl at Tyson Fury fight sees boxing fan kicked down stadium steps

A mass brawl broke out in the crowd before Tyson Fury's win over Derek Chisora last weekend as one boxing fan was kicked down the stadium steps.

WBC champion Fury defended his heavyweight title in routine fashion against Derek Chisora at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, stopping his opponent in the tenth round. The pair jostled in front of a 60,000 sell-out crowd with the 'Gypsy King' cheered on by the crowd during his latest win.

During a relatively dull spectacle in the ring, fans had their attention turned by another brawl closer to home in the crowd when a row broke out over fans' seats. Footage provided to Mirror Fighting shows two men leaving their seats and heading to the aisles after several boxing fans began punching them and dragging them away.

An onlooker described the ruckus as being caused by a dispute over seat allocations. He told Mirror Fighting : "One group of guys came in who had tickets somewhere else in the stadium and sat in seats that weren't theirs. I think that is what kicked off the argument as it was over the seat allocation.

"Right after the fight, one guy shouted out, 'You come over here', and it was after a boxing fight so I'm guessing people watch the fight and feel like it themselves. It got a bit heated and the two groups started throwing punches. The guy that got chucked downstairs were kicked out by the group.

"So the way I see it the guys who weren't meant to be in seats weren't meant to be in the fight. They were a separate group of people that weren't in the video. I guess there was another group who wanted to fight jumped in to start the fight, and the guys that were thrown down the stairs were angry the group weren't in the correct seats."

The pair were given a heavy beating before trying to retreat back up the steps and on to the concourse, with one man attempting to go back to confront a fan who punched him again before stepping back. The two men, who were punched can then be seen about to climb down the steps as they look to finish the confrontation.

As the pair looked to retreat down towards the exit, a fan decided to kick one of the men which sent him tumbling down the stairs in a brutal fall before the group continued to chase the pair out into the hallway. Another punch is thrown before the footage cuts off.

The onlooker added: "It seemed pretty amicable but something just switched at the end. There was nothing there was no security or stewards. I couldn't leave the stadium with that going on so I just filmed it."
