SYDNEY (AP) — The brother of a boxer who had just won a bout punched the opponent’s trainer in the ring in a chaotic post-fight melee at Sydney Arena late Wednesday. Michael Zerafa received a TKO win when opponent Tommy Browne quit due to a biceps injury after the first round of the catchweight bout. Zerafa wasn’t happy with his rival retiring in the televised fight, and yelled, “You quit,” when Browne remained on his stool after the second round was set to start. That triggered a heated argument between Zerafa and Browne’s trainer, Tommy Mercuri.

Ward stood to earn a career-high six-figure payday until Chavez was forced out of the event with only days remaining until the HBO battle.

Eddie Hearn believes Devin Haney is having a rough time following an overturned defeat by Ryan Garcia. Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) maintained his unbeaten record despite initially suffering a 12-round majority decision loss to Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) in a WBC junior-welterweight title defense. Garcia tested positive for Ostarine, a performance-enhancing drug, in tests conducted by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association. Despite maintaining his innocence, Garcia was banned for a year by the New York State Athletic Commission, and the result of their fight was changed to a no contest.
