The Misfits Boxing 13 event had a very unusual delay Saturday.
After the second round of the fight between Lil Cracra and Yuddy Gang, the entire arena was evacuated amid reports of a possible bomb threat at Worldwide Stages in Nashville, Tenn., on Saturday.
“We have been notified by security there has been some sort of threat or some sort of incident,” commentator Todd Grisham told the DAZN audience. “They are clearing out the arena, including stopping this fight after two rounds. We have to leave as well. We are going to take a short break, make sure everything is good, and that everyone is safe… please stay tuned.”
DAZN kept up its live feed of the arena during the delay for several minutes before turning to a promo that states “Sorry for the interruption. We’re working to bring your event back as soon as we can.”
