Shannon Briggs under fire for punching fan at KSI v Logan Paul weigh-in YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul made a showing at the Los Angeles Staples Center on November 8 for their pre-fight weigh-in \u2013 but they aren\u2019t the only ones with a score to settle. Shannon Briggs, two-time world heavyweight champion and coach to Logan Paul, got caught in a scuffle sometime at the weigh-in, as shown by footage taken by FightHype.com. In their four-minute-long video, Briggs can be seen arguing with a member of KSI\u2019s entourage \u2013 seemingly WKA World Champion Amer Abdallah \u2013 outside the Staples Center, reaching out to push his throat as their argument escalated before being separated by security. 600\u201cHe shouldn\u2019t have come up to me,\u201d Briggs explained. \u201cI\u2019m not like that.\u201d That\u2019s not all: after being talked down, Briggs walked away from the altercation to a barrier several paces away, where another scuffle erupted between the former world champ and a group of bystanders. Briggs can be seen throwing a punch to a white-shirted civilian\u2019s face as the second altercation erupted, which was quickly contained by police. \u201cChill out,\u201d Briggs warned once the commotion died down. \u201cChill out. Nobody touch me. Leave it at that.\u201d This altercation did not go unnoticed by KSI, who called for the commission to remove Briggs from the venue on fight night. \u201cSo why is Briggs punching civilians now?\u201d KSI Tweeted. \u201cThe commission should have you removed from the fight tomorrow.\u201d So why is @TheCannonBriggs punching civilians now?

However, it looks like tensions have finally been settled, with WBA light heavyweight champion Badou Jack Tweeting that the \u201cbeef\u201d between Briggs and Abdallah had been \u201csquashed.\u201d \u201cIt was all a big misunderstanding,\u201d Jack wrote of the scuffle. \u201cWe are all brothers again.\u201d The \u201dbeef\u201d with @TheCannonBriggs and @TeamAbdallah is squashed now. It was all a big miss understanding. We are all brothers again :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing::boxing_glove: \u2014 Badou Jack (@BadouJack) November 8, 2019 Despite trying to keep the peace, it doesn\u2019t look like the internet is letting go of the incident anytime soon \u2013 and whether or not Briggs will be allowed to coach as Paul\u2019s cornerman during the rematch remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
