Boxing fans have hit out the ‘disturbing’ exhibition bout between James Toney and Donovan ‘Razor’ Ruddock, claiming the people around them should be ‘ashamed’. 

The two men went toe-to-toe in the ring on Saturday night despite having a combined age of 114, leaving fans horrified as they watched the action unfold.

The six-round contest – which ended in a draw – saw Toney and Ruddock throw laboured punches and slump around the ring before the commission stepped in. 

The commission changed the bout from two-minute rounds at the end of the second after watching the two men struggle physically. 

Supporters took to X after the event to share their concern over the exhibition and questioned whether bouts like that should be allowed.
