Video: Celebrity boxer smacks down Trump heckler

Published January 4, 2016 3:48pm ET



Donald Trump’s rallies have almost all been interrupted by protestors who have called the Republican frontrunner a fascist, a racist, or something in between. Well, one protestor learned he should heckle at the risk of being taken down by a celebrity boxer.

At a campaign rally in New Hampshire, a long haired, blonde, hippy looking protestor shouted “fascist” during Trump’s speech, which earned him a smackdown from Todd “The Punisher” Poulton, reported The Daily Beast.

Poulton is a big Trump supporter who had no problem taking down the scrawny liberal. He had previously gone in the ring against baseball star Jose Canseco and Michael Lohan- Lindsey’s estranged father.

The celebrity boxer defended his actions, saying he was fearing for everyone in the crowd’s public safety.

“I did not body-slam the kid, I did not throw a punch, nor did I pounce,” Poulton said to The Daily Beast. “We were all standing while Mr. Trump was speaking, and I heard a lot of chaos coming from behind me. And, of course, in my field you’re always trained to react to stuff like that. The screaming started…and I reacted out of the safety of others, and grabbed him, and contained him—with what you’d call a horse-collar tackle. I grabbed the back of his collar, which is all I could grab because he was bumping into an elderly couple on the side of him.”

Poulton held him to ground for a couple of seconds until the authorities showed up and ushered him out.

“We’re gonna make America great again—one knockout at a time!” The Punisher said to the Daily Beast.
