It is not determined what fulled tempers to boil over in Arlington but Benavidez’s dad was also involved.

Later on in the night, Charlo’s training partner Spence, 32, went on to stop Ugas, 35, in ten rounds.

He claimed the Cuban’s WBA belt, adding to the WBC and IBF versions he brought into the bout.

Spence then called out Terence Crawford, 34, to an undisputed super-fight.

He said: “Everybody knows who I want next, I want Terence Crawford next.

“That’s the fight that I want, that’s the fight that everybody else wants and like I said, I’m going to get these straps.

“I’m going to go over there and take his s*** too.

“Terence, I’m coming for that motherf***ing belt.”
