And - this could be funny - has a fight ever been cancelled due to one of the fighters hitting the other fighter pre-figth and then being arrested?
Michael Bennt and Herbie Hide were heavily fined and charged for disturbing the peace after their bust up.
And to answer the question, yes I would continue with the fight, assuming I had not received a cut or significant swelling.
