This world is filled with bizarre and crazy sports. Arm boxing is one of them.
Arm boxing may be more brutal than the Queensberry rules boxing.
The sport of "armboxing" sees two competitors tied to a table.
The fighters then throw punches at each other with one hand
Their non-punching hands have been taped together
This sport involves two people facing each other across a table.
To make sure they can't escape, they are CHAINED to the table.
Arm boxers must stand and accept their punishment, unlike regular boxing, where fighters may move around the ring to avoid taking shots.
The starter klaxon is sounded and the defenseless fighters unleash their fury on each other in one minute rounds.
But there is a catch.
Because they can only use one arm, they must each hold one hand.
It appears that the sport hails from Russia. Promotion company 'Arena’ has built a large following on social media.
Arena has more than 56,000 Instagram followers.
An alternative to boxing was viralized earlier this year. Instead of fighting hand-to-hand across a table as in arm boxing but rather than fighting, the competitors went head-tohead inside a telephone box.
A promotion of MMA in Russia staged a fight between a grandfather and grandson, who were fighting against a woman.
