Warning: some may find this footage distressing.
Everyone in Ireland, as well as the Irish boxing community, were rocked by the news of a gun attack at a boxing weigh-in at Dublin's Regency Hotel on Friday, in which one man lost his life. Three men wearing "police-style" uniforms armed with what witnesses said looked like AK47s stormed the hotel and began opening fire during the official weigh-in for 'Clash of the Clans' boxing event, which was set to feature Jamie Kavanagh versus Joao Bento for the vacant WBO European Lightweight Title.
Footage has since emerged of the moment the shooting began, which you can see below.
It's certainly not for the faint-hearted and our thoughts are with anyone affected by the shooting.
