Video | Marvin Vettori drops pro boxer Omar Nguale Ilunga during DAZN boxing event in Italy

UFC middleweight contender Marvin Vettori dropped pro boxer Omar Nguale Ilunga during a brawl at last night’s DAZN boxing event in Italy.

’The Italian Dream’, who is fresh off a unanimous decision victory over Roman Dolidze at UFC 286, was in attendance for yesterday’s Ivan Zucco vs. Germaine Brown event in Milan, Italy.

According to MMA insider Al Zullino, a brawl was instigated by Italian rapper Tony Effe, who went after fellow rapper Omar Nguale Ilunga (aka Ion Real Deal) and his entourage. Given that Ion holds a professional boxing record of 23-2-1, Effe’s good friend Marvin Vettori decided to give him a hand.

As seen in the video below, Vettori struck Ilunga with multiple hammer fists which resulted in the rapper / boxer crashing to the floor.
