Boxer Curtis Harper quits fight against Efe Ajagba after one second Heavyweight boxer loses fight after walking out of the ring on opening bell Heavyweight boxer Curtis Harper lost his bout against Efe Ajagba on Friday in Minnesota in unusual fashion - leaving the ring after the opening bell without a punch being thrown. Fighting on the Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) card at the Minneapolis Armory, Harper ducked through the ropes as soon as the bell rang and walked all the way back to his dressing room. He did not return and was eventually disqualified. According to PBC commentator Jordan Hardy, Harper’s gesture was in protest over the amount of money he was due to receive for fighting Nigeria’s Ajagba, who improved his record to 7-0 with his one-second win.
Haha yeah i read about this. What a genius. So to protest the amount of money you're getting paid you take action that ensures you get paid nothing at all and a suspension taking you out of action completely.
That's a much better way to protest than not trying, quitting, or getting dq'd. This should really be called a No Contest, not a dq.
