Though pro boxers David Adeleye and Fabio Wardley may have attended an event promoting Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou’s upcoming heavyweight match next month, the pair just couldn’t leave the scuffling to their peers, landing in an all-out red carpet brawl.
It’s unclear what, exactly, prompted this media day melee, however their face-off began after Adeleye repeatedly demanded that an unknown party "shut your mouth.” Wardley was clearly unamused by this barrage of requests, stepping in to push back Big D.

This lone shove quickly spawned into a massive fight, the boxers and their respective camps going at it, cameras flashing all the while. Though the duo were quickly separated, Wardley sustained more than a few injuries in the scuffle, walking away with cuts on his forehead and cheek.
We can only hope the pair get the chance to settle the scores — ideally in a ring with a referee and away from any dangerous, possibly sharp camera equipment.
