See the very cheeky way footy fans have immortalised the tree Paul Kent was thrown into during his alleged street fight

Footy fans have immortalised the tree that NRL commentator Paul Kent was thrown into in an alleged street fight on a Sydney street by turning it into a local landmark on Google Maps.

Footage went viral on social media on Sunday morning showing Kent and another man arguing outside the Three Weeds hotel in the inner-west Sydney suburb of Rozelle before their altercation allegedly turned physical.

In the clip, Kent can be heard calling the other man a ‘doghead’ before they allegedly get into a physical clash that spills across the road from the venue.

The footage shows the commentator allegedly being thrown into a tree and landing head-first in the gutter before picking himself up off the ground.

Kent has been suspended from his roles with Fox Sports and the Daily Telegraph while his employers investigate the incident – and on Wednesday police charged him with affray.

The site has attracted a lot of attention from footy fans, with the broad leaf paperbark tree becoming the subject of plenty of memes online.

Typing ‘Kenty’s Tree’ into Google will bring up its status as a local landmark, and it already has 88 reviews with a 4.9-star rating.

The entry also features Kent’s faced superimposed over an image of the Ent Treebeard from the Lord of the Rings movies. 

‘The 8th wonder of the world. A must visit for anyone travelling to Sydney. 5 stars,’ wrote one fan.

‘Please be respectful and take your watch off before approaching the tree,’ said another.

‘Despite their looks, the roots are NOT soft,’ posted a third.

‘If you feel like branching out then look no further! I was rooted to the spot when I saw it, my head felt like it was doing a 360!’ another joked.

On Wednesday, Kent smiled for the camera as Daily Mail Australia captured him coming home with his lawyer George Elias after being hospitalised for what Elias said were four or five broken ribs.

Asked how his back was, Kent replied ‘good’ and refused to go into detail about what happened during the incident. 

‘It’s going to court, you’ll get to see all that then,’ he said.

‘It’s all fine, I’m just getting on with it, right? Getting on with life, going through what has got to be done.

‘I’m disappointed but such is life, mate. Things happen, so get up and go again.’

Elias added: ‘He just needs to get his health in order.’

Asked to specify his injuries, Kent said, ‘A couple of ribs are probably not like they should be,’ before laughing and adding, ‘you win them, you wear them, mate… such is life, who cares? It’s done. Can’t change it now.’
