Shortly after, a chaotic scene unfolded over the weekend in Istanbul, Turkey Mourad Aliev defeated Umut Camikiran win the WBC silver title.
Seconds after the fight ended, Aliev was walking around the ring with his arms raised in triumph when he made an inexplicably obscene gesture to the crowd, pointing to his crotch. This did not sit too well with his opponent, who is a Turk, who went up to him to exchange a few words.
That was the spark that led to an all-out brawl after people stormed the ring and started swinging at Aliev. From there, it was a chaotic scene as a huge sea of people jumped to the side of the ring as well as inside and started throwing objects and fists at the visitor.
Aliev was eventually taken out of the ring, but that didn’t stop the fans from attacking him as he was hit with several more punches and a chair to the head. He eventually headed back where I’m sure he’s feeling pretty sore today.
