Former World Darts Championship qualifier Boris Koltsov was at the centre of incredible scenes following a darts match in his native Russia.

Footage has emerged on social media of Koltsov, who played at the last edition of the Alexandra Palace showpiece, appearing to start a fight with an opponent. Koltsov reportedly won the match in question but that didn’t stop him laying into the opponent, with multiple punches thrown.

The dust-up reportedly occurred after the opponent, a member of the Novgorod team, refused to shake Koltsov’s hand and insulted his team after the match. Darts fans were left shocked by the footage, with one tweeting: “Boris Koltsov woke up and actually chose violence.”
