Supporters stormed the ring during a local boxing bill on Saturday evening, in scenes that will send shockwaves around the sport.

The anarchy came during a show at the Octagon in Sheffield, when rival fans clashed over a fight on the undercard.

Security at the complex was over-run as supporters of Sheffield super-bantamweights Uzair Najib and Muheeb Fazeldin stormed into the ring, moments after Fazeldin had stopped his rival.

Punches were thrown between rival factions, as the ring announcer and local promoter Dennis Hobson both appealed for calm.

The scenes carried on for a few minutes before the drama finally settled down and fans returned to their seats, although security did lead away a few culprits.

The showpiece fight saw home favourite Ross Burkinshaw win the WBO European bantamweight strap - but that will sadly not be the lasting memory on a dark night for the city.

Sheffield has produced a clutch of world champion boxers, including Kell Brook , Johnny Nelson and Prince Naseem Hamed .
