Julius Francis, ex-Mike Tyson rival, faces no police action after knocking out customer

Mike Tyson's former rival, Julius Francis, will not face police action after knocking out a rowdy customer at the weekend.

Francis - who once shared the ring with legendary heavyweight Tyson in 2000 - was pictured in an aggressive confrontation with a heckling customer in a clip that went viral on social media. He was initially not involved with the angry punter but promptly used his famed punching power to deal with the difficult individual.

The Metropolitan Police initially released a statement confirming they were investigating the incident, which read: “Police are aware of footage circulating on social media showing an incident involving security staff and a member of the public outside BOXPARK in Wembley. An investigation into the circumstances, including to establish the identity and welfare of those involved, is under way. There have been no arrests and enquiries are ongoing.”
