How Brass Knuckle Gift Almost Put Nigerian Superstar Boxer Israel Adesanya In US Police Trouble

Brass knuckles are banned in every US airport. But a fan gifted it wrapped in gift paper to superstar Nigerian boxer and former UFC champion, Israel Adesanya. Police found it and detained him at JFK Airport.

But later, they decided to release him when they realized he didn’t know brass knuckles was what was in the gift parcel.

“As it turns out, a fan offered a wrapped gift to the former champ that Adesanya didn’t think about opening. He simply put it in his luggage and decided to travel with it. To his surprise, that gift was a set of brass knuckles that the police obviously found. Since they realized Adesanya wasn’t aware he carried these with him, they reportedly let him leave without an issue. It is still unclear how much time Adesanya was kept in custody while the matter was settled but he was there for an important period of time.” .
