The boxer who was knocked out cold after taking a wildly illegal kick to the face during a fight wants to make sure his opponent never gets an opportunity to do it again — telling TMZ Sports he wants the guy banned for life.
If you haven’t seen the crazy video of the incident already … Bagher Faraji was going up against Idris Abdurashidov in Phuket, Thailand … when out of nowhere, the Russian pugilist used his foot instead of his fists — resulting in an immediate disqualification.
Faraji was outboxing Abdurashidov in the ring prior to the disgusting move … and naturally, fans quickly called for swift and severe punishment.
Abdurashidov said he made up with Faraji and the two shook hands after the incident … while also claiming he was slapped with a lifetime ban.
If that’s the case, Faraji is entirely on board with the move … telling us the debacle clearly isn’t water under the bridge like Abdurashidov suggested.
“He is absolutely dangerous for this sport and should not be playing,” Faraji told us.
“I am a fighter and it doesn’t matter to me who I play with. This opponent was even 5 kilos heavier than me.”
Faraji continued … “He is not an athlete.”
Abdurashidov had several fights in MMA before making his boxing debut … but given how his first outing in the ring went, it could quite possibly be his last.
