Looking for fights or clips of fights where a fighter showcased very bizarre behavior; not necessarily showboating, but rather did something exceptionally baffling, like... I don't know, just something you wouldn't normally see in a boxing match. Dancing, aerobics, making candy, whatever. A friend of mine who has recently gotten into the sport asked me what the weirdest thing I had seen, and I was at a loss. All I could remember off the top of my head at the time was Curtis Harper leaving the fight before it began (though that was justifiable, not necessarily weird). Or Mike Tyson's ear-biting.
Thoughts? Thanks!
Lennox Lewis vs Oliver McCall 2 - McCall starts crying during the match while shrugging off bombs. Many theories why he broke down.
Abner Mares vs Joseph Agbeko - 200 low blows from Mares, blind ref. Pretty funny
Riddick Bowe vs Holyfield 2 - Man with a paraglider lands in the ring, funny chaos ensues
Kermit Cintron vs Paul Williams - Cintron dives out of the ring and out of the fight
That might be more interesting than the crying tbh lol

Pertaining to McCall, it seemed at the time that he broke down due to mental problems exacerbated by heavy drug use. His troubled life after that proved this theory. Just insane how he was never knocked down in his entire career and that casual shrugging off bombs from Lennox with hands down Locche style while crying was just nuts.
And Cintron, I can't even. He was punching the ER car after that :D That jump out of the ring would've scored unanimous 10s in water jumping competition.
i dont think tyson biting holyfield is that weird, holyfield kept head butting him and some how that is an acceptable foul for him to do over and over again but when tyson bites him then now that is a DQ. tyson is a nut case what do you expect if you keep fouling him.
golota is crazier than tyson though. he had his own biting fight and then that ball punching of bowe

Not boxing, but this was pretty funny to watch:

Also this poor kid. He was making his Muay Thai debut. Muay Thai tradition requires fighters to climb over the top rope, in case you're wondering why he didn't climb between the ropes.

promoter ahmet ohner goes up to the timekeepers table and rings the bell in the middle of a round when his fighter was hurt and in trouble.
Golota keeps whacking bowe in the pills and gets DQd sparking a big riot.
Wasn't it a dq win? The boxer hit after the bell or when the ref told em to break if we're talking about the same fight
it was a tko. https://boxrec.com/wiki/index.php/John_Meekins_vs._Mohammed_Kawoya
it's a well known fight but op's friend is a newbie so i mentioned it.
boxer's mother enters the ring and attacks his opponent with her shoe.
boxer who is knocked out is declared the winner.
boxer who just knocked down his opponent starts attacking the air. the fight is stopped and he dies several days later.
