Bizarre moment boxer gets ELECTRIC SHOCK and collapses during 'Weed Boxing' event in Thailand
Russian boxer Ivan Parshikov was left lucky to be alive after a terrifying accident at a controversial cannabis-themed boxing event in Thailand. The bizarre spectacle, known as 'Weed Boxing', encourages fighters to smoke cannabis before entering a ring surrounded by a pool of water. After winning his match, Parshikov climbed the ropes to celebrate his victory, grabbing onto a nearby lighting fixture. But disaster struck when he immediately received a powerful electric shock. It left the former ONE Championship star frozen and limp, collapsing unconscious in front of stunned fans. Emergency crews rushed to his aid, fearing the worst, but Parshikov regained consciousness moments later and was cleared by medics. The Russian boxer was competing at a controversial cannabis-themed boxing promotion, which encourages fighters to smoke before entering the ring Incredibly, the 29-year-old even leapt into the pool surrounding the ring, joking about the ordeal and later sharing footage of himself undergoing electrotherapy treatment. Parshikov later joked on Instagram: 'The idea of diving from the ring into the pool was not the most successful one. I'll upload the full chronology of the events a bit later.' Thai authorities had previously shut down 'Weed Boxing', citing damage to the reputation of traditional Thai boxing and legal concerns. However, organisers insisted that cannabis was optional for fighters - not mandatory - which has allowed the event to stay.

Video: Shocking moment shows fighter electrocuted during celebration
Former ONE Championship fighter Ivan Parshikov received the literal shock of his life after winning a boxing match in Thailand. On Thursday, video surfaced on X showing the truly shocking moment as Parshikov climbed on the ropes to celebrate his victory at a Weed Boxing Championship event. For some reason (who the heck knows why?), the ring was surrounded by water. And when Parshikov grabbed hold of a light fixture, he was instantly electrocuted, which can be heard in the video. At that moment, Parshikov's body goes limp as he crashes to the canvas outside the ropes. Somehow he wakes up moments later and, if you can believe this, he manages to swim away! We've never seen anything like this before. Check this out for yourself below (via @Matysek88): We hereby declare Ivan Parshikov THE MOST ELECTRIFYING MAN IN COMBAT SPORTS.
