It was a moment to behold, with mouth wide open.
At the end of the fifth round of their light heavyweight fight on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Liam Cameron pressed fellow British boxer Ben Whittaker against the ropes.
Then physics took over.
Both fighters tumbled over the top rope and crashed onto the ring platform.
Whittaker, who appeared to injure his right leg, was taken away in a wheelchair. According to DAZN Boxing, he was taken to a nearby hospital.
The fight, which was part of the undercard for the Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol fight, was ruled a technical split draw.
Whittaker, 27, is now 8-0-1 and Cameron, 33, is 23-6-1.
