Antonio Barrul, a six-time national champion at amateur level before turning pro last year, attended a screening of the film Garfield with his wife and son in Leon.
Things turned sour at the Cinema when Barrul confronted another man, having reportedly become unhappy at the way his fellow viewer was treating his own partner. It is alleged that he was beating his wife and a girl.

The boxer had seen enough and decided to approach the man before eventually letting rip with some of his boxing skills.
You can watch the video below:
The boxer told local media: “He hasn’t filed a complaint, he’s probably not from León as I know everyone here and we all respect each other.”
“He hit his wife and a girl. He threatened me and although I do not justify violence, I feel that he forced me into it.
“He was an abuser and had to be stopped. I know violence is never the answer. I’m sorry it happened, I have children and it really hurts me.”
