It was the moment when the former one Championship fighter was electrocuted after winning the battle at the Weed Boxing Championship (Vved BC) event in Thailand.
On June 22nd, Ivan Parshikov stepped into a ring surrounded by everything. He ultimately won the match, but his celebration quickly turned into a disaster. Jumping towards the pool, Parshikov grabbed a nearby light fixture and immediately electrocuted him. In fact, you can hear the audible ZAP in the clip below just seconds before Parshikov’s body completely limps and crashes into the canvas.
But somehow, the Russians quickly regained consciousness as if nothing had happened and jumped into the pool.
I’ve seen something pretty crazy down in Thailand, but it might take a cake.
Parshikov is electrocuted on stride
Vestnikmma provided insight into why there was a pool around a wired ring in the first place.
“Thailand has this unusual tournament. It’s held on Phuket Island, known as Vved BC. Here it is like regular boxing, but you have to take a puff before the fight, and the ring is set up by the pool so you can soak after the match.”
Parshikov later posted about the incident on Instagram and appeared to be fine.
“The idea of jumping out of the ring into the pool was not the most successful,” he wrote. “We’ll upload the full chronology of the event a little later,” he wrote.
