The battle of the 250 kilos was the title given to this enormous fight. The protagonists were the Bulgarian Domingos Ruskov and the Croatian Zdravko BadNews.

Both faced off at a bare-knuckle boxing event in Madrid. The shocking part was that the fight practically ended before it began. 

Ruskov came out swinging from the very first second, landed a brutal series of punches, and left BadNews completely dazed in barely a minute. The referee had to stop the fight and declared a technical knockout because of the violence of the punishment.

The images quickly went viral because of the size of both fighters and the rawness of “bare knuckle”, a form of boxing without gloves known for its brutality and for extremely violent knockouts.
