A man beats his wife at the cinema, Burrul intervenes: the boxer knocks him out

It happened in Spain. The Federation has already said that Antonio Burrul does not deserve to be punished

ROME – His name is Antonio Burrul, and he is a Spanish professional boxer. He was at the cinema with his family, watching a children’s film. Half an hour after the start of the film, a man stood up in the room and attacked his partner, he grabbed her by the neck and screamed. The lights came on in the room, other people tried to stop the man, who in the excitement had also hit an 8-year-old girl. And then Burrul intervened: he told the thug to leave, he called security but no one intervened; the other reacts, provokes him, attacks him. And the boxer sprints. He hits him repeatedly, knocks him out, some even applaud. The video went viral in Spain.

Burrul then published a video to justify his reaction, in which he says he is “one hundred percent against gender violence. Before being a boxer I am a person. I have an education, I have values and this does not it’s part of my principles. That man went crazy, he attacked me, he started threatening me, he started insulting me, causing my wife and children to cry”.
Now the boxer risks having his license withdrawn or a disqualification. But the Castilla y León Boxing Federation clarified that “it would be unfair to sanction him. We are talking about a super disciplined athlete, who has never participated in any altercation and who found himself immersed in a situation in which he had to react. First he tried to stop him and then acted”.
