Spring breakers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, held illegal boxing matches over the weekend – with cryptocurrency bets.

A bystander who recorded the beach boxing matches told NBC Miami that he saw students running toward a circle of people on the beach and overheard bystanders taking bets with crypto.

"Why aren't they playing football? Something that is not going to get people injured," Joshua Pettus told NBC Miami.

"I started hearing somebody taking bets and they were doing it with crypto," Pettus said.
