THROWBACK TO APRIL 2015:

A boxing fight had to be temporarily stopped after one of the fighters' mobile phone fell out of his trunks.

Marvin Jones, for some bizarre reason, felt the need to take his device into the ring with him.

He tucked the phone into his waistband but it took just seconds of the first round for it to fall out and onto the canvas.

A rather bemused looking referee then proceeded to pick the phone up and hand it back to Jones' corner.

It didn't get much better for Jones who went on to be knocked out by his opponent - a result which leaves him with just two career wins to his name and five losses.
