This clip predates the (commercial) Internet by some years: I saw it on TV in the late 80s. I've been looking for it off and on, searching YouTube occasionally to see if someone's uploaded it. An Internet-wide search finally found it. Enjoy!
In Southhampton, England on September 9, 1989, Tony Wilson fought Steve McCarthy. On the third round Wilson was knocked down and he was able to get up before the 8th count. He was then bombarded by McCarthy on the rope. The referee seemed to stop the fight by TKO, but wait... a lady, later known as Mi[n]na Wilson, Tony Wilson's mother, entered the ring and smashed [her] son's opponent's head twice with her high heeled shoes.
I had been under the impression that McCarthy, who had to withdraw, was declared the victor; shockingly that wasn't the case.
The British Boxing Board of Control, meeting in London yesterday, ruled that Tony Wilson could keep his victory over Steve McCarthy on his record, even though Wilson's mother landed the winning blows with her high-heeled shoe in a light-heavyweight bout in Southampton, England, Sept. 21.The board said it would honor the referee's final decision despite ''the unsatisfactory nature of the ending of this contest.'' A rematch will be held at a different site, under tight security at ringside, and without Minna Wilson present.
In the third round of the fight, for a shot at the British light-heavyweight championship, McCarthy punched Wilson to the mat for an 8-count. Wilson's mother climbed into the ring and started beating McCarthy's head with one of her shoes, opening a large wound, which required hospital treatment and forced McCarthy to retire. Under the rules, the referee gave Wilson the victory.(AP)
Though I doubt it was much of a bragging point in his career, assuming he didn't die of embarrassment, that is.
