Little Bruiser: Baby PUNCHES Itself During Ultrasound Scan

This baby is clearly a Muhammad Ali in waiting as he started practicing some boxing moves during a routine ultrasound.

Parents-to-be Dave and Vanessa Watson couldn’t believe it when their unborn son suddenly jerked up his fist to his face and gave it a little whack.

They were looking at Edward James - shortened to EJ - during their 20-week scan last month and the boy initially moved around inside the womb like any other baby.

But his lightning-quick speed when he carried out his uterus uppercut showed he has what it takes to become the next boxing legend.

Dave, 37, said: “It was a real shock.

"We were watching the ultrasound live and suddenly this happened.

"The nurse laughed and said that was a new one for her.”

It may have been a funny sight but not everyone laughed the incident off.

Dave, from Wichita, Kansas, added: "Me and Vanessa joked he has my co-ordination but my mother-in-law started crying.

"She thought he’d really hurt himself.”
