Police say former heavyweight boxer Julius Francis — who famously fought both Mike Tyson and Vitali Klitschko early in his boxing career — will not be arrested over his one-punch, street knockout this past weekend.
Metropolitan Police said in a statement Wednesday they have concluded their investigation into Francis’ punch — which went down while he was working as a security guard in the U.K. on Saturday — and will not arrest the 57-year-old over it all.

Police initially began investigating Francis after he was seen on video throwing a right hook at a man’s jaw after the guy had appeared to get into a confrontation with security guards at BOXPARK Wembley.
The man was reportedly causing a scene at the venue, and after he was booted by the guards, he became combative.
BOXPARK Wembley founder Roger Wade believed Francis did no wrong … saying in a statement following the incident that the former fighter was simply defending himself — and it seems cops agreed with him.
