Boxer Attacked With Paint After Losing Women’s World Title Fight

Mikaela Mayer won in a great fight this weekend but her opponent after the fight copped a paint attack.

Some suggested it may have been from Mayer supporters. Here is what happened after the fight:

Bizarre situation overnight as Mikaela Mayer beat Sandy Ryan by majority decision in a thriller to win the WBO welterweight world title, but as she left her hotel pre-fight Ryan was attacked by someone who threw a can of paint at her (she insisted it was a Mayer team-member)… pic.twitter.com/SBLNS7FKzM

Mayer winning the majority decision may open up big fights like another one with Baumgardner soon.

Sandy Ryan will surely find herself in big fights soon too.
