Former NBA star Nick 'Swaggy P' Young was sent crashing through the ropes after claiming his opponent Malcolm Minikon landed an illegal headbutt.
Young, 37, is mostly known for his time spent playing with the Los Angeles Lakers and also being the former partner of Australian rapper Iggy Azalea. He was making his boxing debut against internet star Minikon at the Social Gloves 2 event in an un-scored exhibition fight scheduled for five rounds. As the fight got underway, it was clear the 6'7" Young had no boxing ability but he used his size advantage to stay at range.
The mouthpiece of Minikon was sent flying courtesy of a a big shot from Young in the second round, only for Minikon to fire back with a big punch of his own. Both men were slowing down in the third stanza as the fight was halted after Minikon landed to the back of Young's head. Whilst the pair were pressed up against the ropes in the fourth round, Minikon sent Young through the ropes in a bizarre sequence that saw the fight waved off.
