In a bizarre incident, a French super heavyweight boxer sat on a ringside protest for nearly an hour after being disqualified for headbutting at the Tokyo Olympics on Sunday. Mourad Aliev was disqualified with four seconds left in the second round against Frazer Clarke of Great Britain for headbutt in the quarterfinal bout at the Ryogoku Kokugikan Arena. Aliev, who won the first round in a close fight, had been given a warning over the excessive usage of the head. The referee, Andrew Mustacchio of the USA determined Aliev intentionally used his head to clash with Clarke, who got significant cuts near both his eyes. On seeing his disqualification, an agitated Aliev spat out his mouth guard and punched a TV camera trying to zoom in.
