Freddy Young claimed the victim threatened one of his brothers before the assault
A BOXER attacked a shopper and knocked him unconscious with a single punch, a court heard.
Freddy Young, 18, left Vladimir Bekes, 32, with a broken jaw, dental damage and needing a metal plate in his face.
It followed an exchange of words as they stood on an escalator with Young’s two younger brothers.
Young, seen as a future Olympics hope, claimed he believed Mr Bekes was threatening one of his brothers at an Asda in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire.
Young, of Great Sutton, admitted causing grievous bodily harm at Chester crown court.
He was given a ten-month suspended sentence.
District Judge Bernadette Baxter told him: “You are a young father with responsibilities so need to stop behaving in this immature way.”
