A budding Miss Universe contestant has been left in a serious condition after a 'Gladiators-style' format was introduced to part of a beauty pageant competition.
Martha Briano, 25, had to totter in a figure-hugging evening gown and towering heels while swinging PUNCH BAGS created an obstacle for her to swerve on the catwalk.
The stunning model is representing the Mexican state of Veracruz in the Mexicana Universal 2018 pageant when she was whacked off the stage by one of the punch bags.
The winner will represent Mexico at Miss Universe 2018.
