Yeah, this actually happened. And David Price has the bite marks to prove it.
Complete chaos unfolded during Saturday’s Matchroom Boxing undercard in Liverpool, England.
Heavyweight Kash Ali (15-1, 7 KOs) was seemingly in good position to get an upset win against veteran David Price (24-6, 19 KOs), but towards the end of round five, Price clocked Ali with a hard right hand that seemed to hurt Kash. For what it’s worth, Ali seemed to play it off as nothing major, then Price went on the attack.
Things got 1,000 times weirder from there.
Ali decided to turn this into an MMA fight, as he turned holding onto Price into a fully fledged takedown. That’s obviously not a good thing. Even worse? Literally biting Price in the stomach for the disqualification loss.
I absolutely did not make any of that up. Mike Tyson famously bit Evander Holyfield’s ear off more than 20 years ago. Mr. Ali went for another man’s STOMACH.
Here is video evidence of one of the most ridiculous ways a fight has ever ended.

And from the alternate angle with audio from the corner where you can hear Price scream out that Ali bit him.
WTF!

Oh, and you thought he only bit the stomach? This man was in the mood to munch on human flesh.
David Price has just beaten Kash Ali by disqualification in bizarre circumstances. With both men on the floor Ali BIT price in the stomach leaving massive teeth marks on his body. He also bit him on the arm two rounds earlier. pic.twitter.com/cTcbnKbvfT

As if that wasn’t enough, Ali was docked a point for repeated blows to the back of the head in round three.
Sometimes these things happen in MMA boxing.
