A boxer simply couldn’t wait for his fight on Saturday to start going after his opponent … ’cause he straight-up shoved the hell outta the guy during a face-off — forcing him to fall to the ground!!
The wild moment happened between super featherweights Michael Gomez Jr. (18-1) and Levi Giles (13-0) on Friday … as part of the weigh-ins for the Lawrence Okolie vs David Light card.
Video shows Gomez Jr. lead with his head as he goes full steam ahead toward Giles … and when he gets within arm’s reach, he pushes him to the ground.

It’s safe to say Giles was not expecting the shocking move … as he flew back a couple feet.
The two guys had to be separated by security … but that didn’t stop them from jawing back and forth as they remained on opposite ends of the stage.
Gomez Jr.’s stunt is getting mixed reviews online … with some saying it’s a great way to sell a fight — but others think it’s a bad sign if he can’t keep his cool.
Gomez Jr. and Giles will fight for real on Saturday … and considering what just went down, we’re expecting fireworks when they enter the ring.
