Rapper Rich Homie Quan fought off a suspected robber on Friday (05Sep14) after a man attempted to steal his necklace while he was in the audience at a big boxing match in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The hip-hop star was in the crowd at the Adrien Broner/Emmanuel Taylor fight when an unidentified male made a forceful grab for his chain.

Video footage of the incident, which has surfaced online, shows Quan throwing a few punches of his own to fight off the attacker, who ran off empty-handed.

No arrests were made at the event, according to Tmz.com.

The attempted robbery took place shortly after Quan joined fellow rappers Young Thug and Birdman to escort Broner to the ring in his hometown.
