On Saturday, boxer Jermall Charlo was partying at Jay-Zโ€™s 40/40 club in New York City when a fight broke out around 3 a.m. Sunday. The middleweight fighter, who hasnโ€™t lost a fight in 26 professional bouts, began mixing it up when someone in his group left a Louis Vuitton bag unattended on the table.

According to the New York Daily News, women who were partying near the boxer saw their chance to swipe a Louis Vuitton bag, grabbed it and ran out of the club. The bag reportedly held some $40,000 in cash and $115,000 in jewelry.

I know what you are thinking, dear readers, and youโ€™re wrong! It totally makes sense to have enough money and jewels to purchase a small house or a big body Benz in a bag inside the club. Also, how many times have you been wearing an iced-out chalice pendant and thought, โ€œMan I really wish I had my iced-out leprechaun pendant necklace, as this really isnโ€™t a chalice crowd?โ€ Exactly! This is why Charlo had some of his jewelry with him, in case he needed to make a quick switch.

Surveillance video from the club, viewed by the Daily News, appears to show five women near the boxer when the fight begins. One of Charloโ€™s friends can be seen taking off his shirt and handing the bag to one of the women before joining the melee.

โ€œWe, of course, have given all footage to the NYPD and have cooperated as we always do for the last 15 years,โ€ Didier Morais, a spokesperson for the club, told the Daily News. โ€œThe bag in question was handed to one of the girls with the Charlo party by a friend of the party host and she walked out of the club with it.โ€

Police are looking to speak with the young women seen leaving the club and added that none of them are IG models who normally get a bad rap for this type of robbery.
