SYDNEY — The brother of a boxer who had just won a bout punched the trainer of a rival fighter during a chaotic melee in the ring following a televised bout at the Sydney Arena.

Michael Zerafa received a TKO win late Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) when opponent Tommy Browne quit due to a biceps injury after the first round of the catchweight bout.
