A British man has been charged with manslaughter after a young father died taking part in the new 'Punch 4 Punch' craze.
Tommy Main, 23, collapsed after trading blows with Desmond Bartley at a 16th birthday party in Erith, south-east London, in June last year, The Mirror reports.
Witnesses said Mr Main voluntarily swapped punches with Bartley, 20, before falling to the ground after a heavy blow to his upper chest.
He was rushed to hospital by ambulance in a critical condition, but died an hour later without ever regaining consciousness.
Mr Main's family have lashed out at witnesses who filmed the violent clash and its tragic aftermath instead of helping.
Bartley will appear in court next Monday.
Punch 4 Punch started in the US and involves two people, usually with each having one hand tied behind their back, striking each other in the same place until one gives up.
