One man in particular grows upset and appears to become confrontational, yelling “f*** you” over and over. However, as he approaches Francis, who appears to be backing away, the ex-fighter, who once faced Mike Tyson, strikes a right hook and knocks him out.

“Police are aware of social media footage circulating of an incident involving security workers and a member of the public outside Boxpark in Wembley,” the Metropolitan Police said.
“An investigation into the circumstances is underway to discover the identity of people involved and their well-being. Before losing to boxing icon Mike Tyson in Manchester in 2000, Francis, now 57, had won 23 of his 48 contests.
He won multiple heavyweight titles during his career, including the Commonwealth and British titles.
