Rod Stewart<\/a>‘s success needs no introduction but one of his children encountered their own type of hit-maker at the weekend.<\/p>\n

Music legend Stewart, 80, has eight children and his third-eldest child Sean, 45, has turned to boxing.<\/p>\n

Sean, 45, a troubled musician who once said being the firstborn son of rock royalty was a ‘curse and a hindrance,’ made his professional boxing bow on Saturday as he fought on Misfits Boxing’s card against streamer BDave, 27, in Nashville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n

However, his debut ended in disastrous fashion as he was knocked out within 15 seconds of the fight actually starting. Unsurprisingly, it’s a record KO under the Misfits banner.<\/p>\n

As the pair engaged in some close-range action, BDave slipped an overhand combination from Stewart before landing an overhand right of his own.<\/p>\n

The shot landed flush on Stewart’s jaw, who bizarrely then dropped his guard.<\/p>\n

And as he backpedalled with both arms down, BDave threw another overhand right that saw Stewart collapse on to the canvas.<\/p>\n

Stewart laid motionless on his back as the referee waved the fight, which was scheduled to be three rounds of three minutes, off immediately.<\/p>\n

As BDave celebrated, Stewart’s corner went over to check the well-being of their fallen boxer.<\/p>\n

Stewart, who is 18 years BDave’s senior, was branded a ‘gym warrior’ on commentary by Ben ‘The Bane’ Davis, and reportedly told Misfits he had been training since the age of six.<\/p>\n

His famous father Rod was performing in London so couldn’t be present for the ringside defeat.<\/p>\n

Despite not being there, his celebrity was often mentioned with Misfits organisers referring to Sean throughout the week as ‘Rod Stewart’s Son’.<\/p>\n

In late February Sean voluntarily checked into rehab after his famous family staged an intervention.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He spent time at the $80,000-a-month Cliffside Malibu rehabilitation facility, where his close friend Scott Disick once sought treatment.<\/p>\n

It came months after he split from his wife Jody Weintraub and started dating Charlie Sheen’s ex, Julia Stambler.<\/p>\n

‘Sean is in rehab for addiction,’ an insider told DailyMail.com at the time. ‘He’s had a long history of substance abuse, and he decided to get help when he saw that he was falling off the deep end again.<\/p>\n

‘There was a family intervention because they were worried. They are all able to see when Sean is sober and when he is not.’<\/p>\n

\"Rob <\/p>\n

Rob Stewart’s son Sean was admitted to rehab earlier this year for substance abuse<\/p>\n

He was spotted shopping in Beverly Hills before zipping off in a white Ferrari with the top down<\/p>\n

The source added that Rod was proud of his son for acknowledging that he needed help and checking himself in without being forced.<\/p>\n

‘In the end, Sean voluntarily checked in to save himself,’ the person shared. ‘Rod is proud of him for getting help. He is expected to do a 90 day stay, which is the norm.’<\/p>\n

The pricey facility features views of the Pacific Ocean, plus an outdoor pool and a gym.<\/p>\n

Patients receive treatment while enjoying an organic, chef-provided menu, and turndown service in the rooms. Yoga, walks, equine therapy, acupuncture and group counseling are also offered.<\/p>\n

Sean has spoken openly about his addiction battle in the past, revealing he was ‘around 13’ and a student at Beverly Hills High School when he first started drinking. He later moved on to harder drugs including ecstasy and heroin.<\/p>\n

‘I would go to parties at that age and drink and smoke cannabis and cigarettes,’ he told the Mail in 2012. ‘It was very easy for me to get drugs. I would just walk into a party and someone would hand them to me. I hardly ever paid for them.’<\/p>\n

He confessed, ‘First, I got really badly into Ecstasy. Then I started on the prescription pills like Vicodin, and then cocaine. And finally I got into heroin.’<\/p>\n

In January Sean and his girlfriend Julia were pictured on a $150 million super yacht with the Stewart clan in celebration of Rod’s 80th birthday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rod Stewart‘s success needs no introduction but one of his children encountered their own type of hit-maker at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":275706,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,100,160067,588,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-275705","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-boxing","11":"tag-dailymail","12":"tag-rod-stewart","13":"tag-sport","14":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275705","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=275705"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275705\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/275706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=275705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=275705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=275705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
