The Russian fighter had taken his professional record to 16-5-0 but his jubilation was cut short.
Parshikov, 29, climbed up on the ropes and looked like he was going to jump into the pool that oddly surrounded the ring.
However, as he reached for a ringside light, he got an electric shock.
His body entirely stiffened before he crashed back down to the canvas.

Fortunately, he was able to spring back up quickly and continue his celebratory dive into the water.
This is despite some social media posts claiming he had been electrocuted, which refers to death or serious injury.
He was then able to get medical attention to give him the all clear.
Parshikov has seen the funny side of the incident as he posted the video of it on Instagram.

A fourth said: "He's a power bank, charged for the whole evening."
Another added: "That fight was shocking."

Parshikov's judgment could have been clouded as the WBC is the only promotion that requires fighters to "smoke a bong or a joint" before the bout.
It has previously been promoted by boxing icon Mike Tyson.
