FFS, the articles get worse. ‘The threat of violence hung like a cloud’ would be an embarrassing cliche if you were covering a riot, but it might at least convey some emotion. In describing a boxing match it is more stup1d than encouraging an XL Bully to play chess. It’s a boxing match you moron, of course there is a ‘threat of violence’ because that is what both men are being paid to do!
