Julius Francis has insisted he didn't want to knock out a customer - but his punch landed right "on the button".
Former heavyweight star Francis came back into the headlines last month after footage went viral of him knocking a rowdy customer out cold while working as a security guard in London. Francis was backed by the BOXPARK venue he was working outside and despite a brief investigation, the Metropolitan Police declared no further action would be taken.
Francis later confirmed he had lost his licence as a security guard after the incident which means he can no longer work. While assessing the incident, the former heavyweight has joked he has not lost his punch power despite having retired 16 years ago. "I can't say that it was something that I wanted to do but it landed on the button and put the guy out," Francis admitted when recalling the incident during an interview with iFL TV.
