A chaotic scene unfolded over the weekend in Istanbul, Turkey shortly after Mourad Aliev defeated Umut Camikiran to win the the WBC Silver title.
Seconds after the fight was over, Aliev was walking around the ring with his hands raised in victory when he inexplicably made an obscene gesture to the crowd by pointing at his crotch area. That didn’t sit too well with his opponent, who is Turkish, who went up to him to exchange a few words.
That was the spark the led to an all-out brawl after people stormed
the ring and started to swing on Aliev. From there, it was a chaotic scene when a massive sea of people hopped onto the side of the ring, as well as inside, and started throwing objects and punches trying to get at the visitor.
Aliev was eventually taken out of the ring, but that did not stop the fans from attacking him as he was hit by several more punches as well as a chair on his head. He eventually made his way to the back where I am sure he is feeling pretty sore today.
