The fight occurred at the EUBC Schoolboys and Schoolgirls European Boxing Championships, an event featuring 13 and 14-year-old boxers.
Serb Viktor Majstorovic was fighting Azerbaijani Yusif Aghakisiyev in the 75kg category.
According to reports from local outlet Informer, Aghakisiyev’s coach became incensed after the boxer received a warning for a repeated foul.
In the video, the coach can be seen charging into the ring and pushing the referee in the back.
Referee Stefan Cubalevski stumbled and looked confused as he turned to face his attacker.
The coach followed up by grabbing the official’s neck and choking him as he dragged the pair towards the edge of the ring.
Several bystanders can be seen jumping into the ring to intervene in the chaotic scenes.
The situation in the huddle of bodies quickly developed into a mini brawl as team members and officials worked to calm the melee down.

Unsurprisingly, both Aghakisiyev and his coach were disqualified from the bout.
The European Boxing Confederation will consider the incident and whether further repercussions will be required for the coach.
This is not the first time boxing has had an issue with brawls outside of scheduled bouts.
UFC superstar Darren Till was involved in a similar incident last year when his boxing debut devolved into a brawl AFTER the fight had finished.
