The video of the incident, which was published on Twitter by @gloryglorytott, quickly went viral, garnering nearly six million views in just 12 hours.
One man, in particular, becomes enraged and appears to turn confrontational as he is heard saying “f*** you.” But as he approaches Francis, who is seen taking steps back, the ex-fighter, who once faced Mike Tyson, lands a right hand and knocks him out. https://twitter.com/MichaelBensonn/status/1536477290267299844?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1536477290267299844%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.givemesport.com%2F88020995-boxpark-founder-responds-to-julius-francis-knockout-punch-video
