Be careful who you mess with, you never know who they are.

Former heavyweight boxer Julius Francis, who famously fought Mike Tyson all the way back in 2000, showed he’s still got it. This week the former heavyweight boxer knocked out a man cold while working a security gig in the U.K.

Via TMZ:

“The ferocious punch went down outside of BOXPARK Wembley in the U.K. … after a man appeared to get into a confrontation with security guards for an unknown reason.

In video of the incident, shot by a bystander, you can see the man in the du-rag was clearly not pleased with Francis and other guards … screaming at them, and seeming to shove some of them as well.

Watch below:

Sucker punches are the worst. Hopefully that dude sues. First square up, let the brain register what’s going on, then get that punch in.

Not saying he can’t, but as it stands is not a good look.

Guy still had it coming though.
