Spring Breakers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, held illegal boxing competitions at the weekend – with cryptocurrency bets.
A bystander who has recorded the beach boxing matches, told NBC Miami That he saw students run to a circle of people on the beach and heard bystanders used those bets with crypto.
“Why don’t they play football?
“I started to hear someone bets and they did it with crypto,” said Pettus.
Pettus said he started recording after he saw spring breakers attract boxing gloves.
“Boxing gloves came out, the ring got bigger and I knew the fight would start,” said Pettus.
Men and women participated in the boxing competitions. Girls in bikinis put on boxing gloves and threw bumped at each other while the crowd encouraged them.
The police of Fort Lauderdale broke out the fighting.
“The police of Fort Lauderdale witnessed and broke two incidents on the beach and the crowd has accepted both times without further issues. No confirmed cases of gambling have been reported.
