At the start of the boxing match between American Curtis Harper and Nigerian Efe Ajagba at the Premier Boxing Champions tournament, a curious episode occurred that led to the victory of one of the boxers in the first second of the battle.
Immediately after the bell, a boxer from the United States climbed over the ropes and left the hall, refusing to fight. This action led to the immediate disqualification of Harper and the victory was given to Ajagbe.
According to journalists who spoke with an American boxer, a demonstrative departure was associated with a display of disrespect and a small purse paid to Harper.
