Parr Uses Past Experience To Steer Fans Away From Street Fights
John Wayne “The Gunslinger” Parr doesn’t want fans to get into street fights.
In a recent Instagram video, the 10-time kickboxing and Muay Thai World Champion implored everyone to avoid such conflicts, saying they simply aren’t worth the risk.
Then, he revealed the scars he suffered from an attack in Thailand when he was 19 years old.
While celebrating his second victory in “The Land Of Smiles,” Parr was surprised by a man with a steel barstool.
“This guy starts attacking me for no reason, so I decided to protect myself and fight back,” the Australian recalls.
“I threw a kick and ended up on all fours. It was then I felt a massive thud on the back of my head. I jumped up to keep fighting, but all of a sudden, I couldn’t see through all the blood, and the street parted like the Red Sea, as no one wanted to come near me as blood was gushing everywhere.”
The two cuts required 14 total stitches to close.
Parr is using his experience to steer fans away from similar altercations. “It’s not worth dying over something stupid,” he states.
