A BOXER and his brother were "arrested" after starting a brawl in the ring.
Zach Abel was competing against Mikey Bets in a fight on the Rough N' Rowdy promotion staged by American blog website Barstool Sports.
Abel felt his low-standard exhibition loss was controversial and kickstarted a ruckus in the ring.
Before long him and brother Spencer began brawling with their opposition members as all hell broke loose in the ring.
The Abdel brothers were quickly tackled to the ground by officers in police uniforms and handcuffed.
Although it remains unclear whether the arrests were genuine or not.

Still, fans were stunned by the hectic scenes as one said: "What on earth? The most chaos I've ever seen."
Another added: "LOL. Why are the law enforcement acting like he assassinated someone?"
But one fumed: "Fake, no one’s buying these things so trying to drum up any kind of drama."
Another raged: "Can’t believe I fell for this trash."

Barstool Sports is owned by social media personality David Portnoy, who is worth an estimated £80million.
And he launched his own boxing promotion to rival crossover and celebrity-style boxing rivals.
But amid a lack of pay-per-view sales, Portnoy admitted his future in the boxing business could soon be KOd.
He said: “I may bring an end to Rough n’ Rowdy if I don’t like the numbers here. It’s a lot of work.
“It’s pretty expensive to put together. I want at least 20,000 pay-per-view buys.”
