A HUGE ringside brawl broke out at AO Arena during the Joshua Buatsi-Willy Hutchinson show.

The chaotic scene unfolded early on in Jack Rafferty’s bout with Hovhannes Martirosyan on the undercard.

Fans sitting on the floor level appeared to row over people sitting in each other’s seats.

The argument rapidly descended, with security forced to step in as punters threw punches and jostled with each other.

In footage captured by SunSport, several fans can be seen fighting on the floor and taking aim at one another.

The venue’s security team eventually managed to get the brawl under control.

After the ruckus died down, the floor could be seen soaked with spilled drinks.

The section was initially cleared, and staff were forced to clean up.

Around 15 minutes late,r it was reopened, with Rafferty and Martirosyan still duking it out in the ring.

Earlier in the night, fans witnessed Zak Miller’s fight end in brutal circumstances.

Miller, 29, took on Gully Powar for the vacant British featherweight title.

The bout was stopped after ten rounds after Miller suffered a severe hematoma.

The pair clashed heads during the fight, which caused the injury.

Miller was allowed to continue for two more needless rounds before the horrifying swelling above his right eye finally prompted the contest to be stopped.
