A massive brawl broke out in the crowd during Tyson Fury’s comeback against Sefer Seferi.
Punters jumped out of their seats and swung at one another while the Gypsy King’s lackluster fight was still going on.
Fury, 29, even turned around mid-bout to watch the scuffle unfold.

The Gypsy King’s comeback against Sefer Seferi wasn’t exactly action-packed, with Fury winning via a fourth-round stoppage against his unmatched opponent.
Former world champion Fury had danced his way to the ring and was warned for playing up to the crowd in the second round.
So when a scuffle broke out among the first few rows of the crowd during a tepid second round, Fury sought to catch a glimpse of the real action.
After an opening three minutes filled with showmanship from Fury, the second was marginally more business-like as both fighters began to focus.
That was until the audience’s attention at the Manchester Arena was diverted towards a disturbance near the front row with security swooping in to calm it down.
Fury, who had danced his way through the first few minutes of his return, even lost his focus from Seferi and craned his neck to get a better look at the action.
The 6ft 9ins fighter completely dwarfed his opponent during the bout and won without exerting much effort as his comeback went off without any hitches.
Seferi, at 39 years old and conceding 10 inches in height and almost four stone in weight to Fury, called off the contest after four rounds of action.

Fury’s promoter Frank Warren will now be expected to line his boxer up with some sterner opposition as he continues on the path back to the very top.
The 29-year-old was last in action back in November 2015, when he beat Wladimir Klitschko via a unanimous decision to claim the unified WBA, IBF, IBO, WBO heavyweight title.
Fury spoke about needing rounds ahead of the Seferi fight to clean out some of the rust brought about by two and a half years without ring action.
But that came to an end when Seferi retreated to his corner after sustaining a barrage from the Gypsy King – his minders soon through in the towel leading to a reception of both boos and laughter from the crowd.
