The Olympics have been ongoing in Tokyo since July 23, as there are plenty of sports for fans to be glued to. Boxing has been entertaining, as one of the latest fights to trend, has been Morocco’s Youness Baalla vs New Zealand’s David Nyika.
On Tuesday, Baalla and Nyika completed in their round of 16 fight, but things took a very interesting turn. Baalla tried to bite Nyika ear, as they were grabbling each other near the ropes. Baalla was losing the fight at the time, and resorted to the ear-biting.
Baalla ended up being disqualified, as Olympic officials stated that he committed an “intolerable action” and “very clearly intended to bite the ear/face of his opponent.” Baalla ended up taking to Instagram to address hate messages he’s been getting since the fight, too.
“To all the people coming from New Zealand … with all my respect to this country but you’re not showing respect to yourselves. I will not answer any bad DM or comment from you and sorry I have big things waiting for me.”
