MMA veteran Marcin
Sianos made his boxing debut against undefeated boxer Artur
Bizewski in a heavyweight matchup. Sianos looked close to pulling
off an upset win, as he had Bizewski visibly hurt with a flurry of
punches early in the second round. However, Sianos bizarrely chose
to go for a double leg before knocking his opponent out with
ground-and-pound. The referee immediately intervened, disqualifying
Sianos, who was subsequently seen running away amidst angry
protests from the crowd.
Sianos later posted a lengthy apology online, saying he couldn’t
explain his actions. While he expects that it could potentially be
the end of his boxing career, Sianos called for a rematch with
Bizewski, promising to donate his earnings to charity. Sianos wrote
(via Google Translate):
“I would like to refer to my fight yesterday… At the very
beginning, I’d like to thank [Artur Bizewski for the duel. At the
same time, my deepest apologies for my unsportsmanlike behavior in
the ring… there is no explanation for this, it is reprehensible
and I clearly deserved disqualification.
“Throughout the entire difficult preparation period, a similar
situation never occurred during any sparring session. I didn’t
knock anyone down, let alone hit anyone with elbows, we trained in
clean boxing.
“I myself cannot explain my behavior yesterday. I guess I may never
appear in a professional boxing ring again. However, I personally
believe that winning by disqualifying your opponent is not
something you can be proud of. I don’t consider myself a loser, nor
Artur Bizewski a winner. If PUB, Rocky Boxing Night and Artur
Bizewski agree to re-score the fight, I declare that my entire
salary, regardless of the result of the fight, will be allocated to
the charity purpose indicated by my opponent!
“I would not like to be perceived negatively, during my entire
20-year career I have never experienced similar behavior and I
would not like this one-off incident to affect my sports image.
Greetings to all my loyal fans and thank you for all the positive
and negative comments..”
