Boxpark founder responds to Julius Francis knockout punch video

Roger Wade, CEO and founder of Boxpark, has released a statement on social media following a trending clip of Julius Francis, a former UK heavyweight boxing champion, knocking a man out outside the venue.

Francis is a member of Boxpark security team and the viral footage that was shared online shows the security member punching the angry punter.

The clip begins with the punter yelling at the Boxpark staff. The security members then try their utmost to calm the matter, but the guy wearing a black t-shirt and a blue durag with a sidebag gets heated and pushes a man standing outside the premises.

After getting knocked out, his group of friends are heard saying to the former champion: “Why? There was no need.”

The viral clip circulating online was shared by Michael Benson, who works for talkSPORT quoting it: “Former British heavyweight champion Julius Francis (who fought Mike Tyson) now working as security at Boxpark Wembley and dealing with some trouble today…”
