A Canadian man has fought off a 320lb (145kg) black bear with skills he learned from years as a boxer.
Rick Nelson, 61, from Ontario was walking his dog when a cub poked its head out of a shrub. Moments later, its mother charged out of the bushes and attacked.
He fought off the mother bear with his bare fists, walking away with just minor scratches on his face and chest.
The Canadian forestry ministry says that attacks by black bears are rare.
After several swings from Mr Nelson, the bear walked away from the fight with a bloody nose.
Mr Nelson said: "It just turned back around and walked away like nothing ever happened and followed the cub. So I really lucked out there."
Despite his encounter, Mr Nelson told a Canadian broadcaster that he did not want people to fear black bears.
The Government of Ontario says black bears usually avoid contact with humans.

However, all that changed this week when Rocking The Daisies and Superbalist In The City (The sister festivals which take place on the same weekend in Cape Town and Joburg respectively) announced that Mac Miller would be headlining both festivals. The US rapper has been popular in South Africa ever since he broke out in 2011 and the announcement got a lot of his fans excited for what he could bring to stage.

Beijing (CNN) China said Wednesday it has the right to set up an air defense zone in the hotly disputed South China Sea, a day after a landmark court ruling against Beijing's claims in the contested waters. Liu Zhenmin, China's vice foreign minister, told a press conference in Beijing that China's sovereignty over the bulk of the South China Sea wouldn't be affected by a decision by the International Court for Arbitration, which went overwhelmingly in favor of the Philippines.    Liu said imposing an air defense identification zone (ADIZ) in the region, which would require aircraft flying over the waters to first notify China , would depend on the threat level China faced. "If our security is threatened, we of course have the right to set it up," Liu said. China set up an ADIZ over the East China Sea in 2013, prompting an outcry from Japan and the United States, but th e zone has not been fully enforced. Could ruling set scene f
