In Lower Saxony, the police ended an illegal boxing match with around 40 spectators.

As the officials in Lüneburg announced, they were informed on Saturday that numerous cars were parked in the village of Westergellersen.

The police then found that boxing matches were taking place in a barn in a ring that had been set up.

According to the information, dozens of people were standing around the ring, some without face masks.

When the police arrived at the scene, an ambulance also drove up.

He brought a fighter who had come from Berlin and suffered serious injuries to a hospital in Lüneburg.

According to the police, there were so-called MMA fights at the event - the abbreviation stands for "Mixed Martial Arts", a full-contact martial art.

According to the police, the organizer stated that the fighting had been coordinated with the Lüneburg district.

"Since this was more than unlikely in the period of an intensified corona-related lockdown, the event was terminated by the police," said the police report.

Various proceedings have been initiated due to administrative offenses.
