On April 1, 2015, a bizarre incident occurred during a boxing match, which had to be temporarily stopped due to an unexpected reason.

A referee had to intervene and pick up a mobile phone that had fallen out of Marvin Jones' trunks in the first round of the fight.

The phone was handed back to Jones' corner, but the incident didn't go unnoticed, and it added to Jones' woes in the match.
