Tensions boiled over as soon as that bout ended — a 12-11 decision for Hoskins — when Knox Sr. confronted a group of West Deptford fans in the stands. Chaos ensued, with other fans, wrestlers and spectators on the mat jumping into the crowd to join the fracas.

The brawl occurred at the District 25 wrestling meet in Collinswood. Knox Jr. -- a three-time champion -- after his match saw his father, Anthony, surrounded by a group of hostile parents from opposing schools.
