Crossover Bout Gone Wrong: Boxing debutant disqualified for MMA takedown

MMA practitioner Marcin Sianos disqualified himself during his boxing debut by taking down opponent Artur Bizewski and elbowing him on the canvas.

Sianos (8-7 MMA) had to be escorted out for his own safety due to fans’ angry reaction at the unexpected sight.

Poor Bizewski survived the blows, thankfully, while Sianos posted the following apology on Instagram later:

‘I would like to refer to my fight yesterday.

‘At the very beginning, I’d like to thank Artur Bizewski for the duel. At the same time, my deepest apologies for my unsportsmanliness in the ring… there is no explanation for this, it is reprehensible and I clearly deserved disqualification.

‘Throughout the difficult preparation period, a similar situation has never occurred during any of the sparring matches. I didn’t knock anyone out or elbow anyone, we were training pure boxing.

‘I myself can’t explain my behaviour yesterday. I guess I might not be in a professional boxing ring anymore. But I personally think that victory by disqualifying your opponent is not something to be proud of.

‘I do not consider myself a loser, nor Artur Bizewski a winner. If PUB, Rocky Boxing Night and Artur Bizewski agree to resolve the duel again, then I declare that all my gambling, regardless of the result of the fight, I will spend it to the charity goal pointed out by my opponent!

‘I wouldn’t like to be seen in a negative way, I’ve never experienced any similar behaviour in my entire 20 year career and I wouldn’t want this one off incident to affect my sportsmanship.

‘Shout out to all my loyal supporters and thanks for all the positive and negative comments.’

It is however a hard choice to allow Sianos duel with another boxer for now. A series of sparring sessions seem to be the better option.
