Calcio Storico Violent Championship Tourney Postponed Over COVID

Calcio Storico -- one of the most violent games on Earth -- has postponed its championship tournament in Florence, Italy due to COVID-19 concerns, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

If you're unfamiliar with the sport ... BUCKLE UP -- THIS IS STRAIGHT WILD, SON!!

Two teams -- 27 players on each side -- are allowed to straight FIST FIGHT WITH EACH OTHER FOR 50 MINUTES while attempting to score goals in a net with an NBA-sized ball.

It's brutal ... no pads, no helmets, no mercy.

The players essentially try to create a path to the other team's goal by fighting through the opposition.
