French boxer Mourad Aliev was attacked by spectators after a fight in Istanbul, where a general brawl broke out. Aliev, who was evacuated from the ring under a barrage of chairs, was declared the winner of the WBC Silver heavyweight title belt bout. He explained that his provocative celebration was intended to denounce the low blows he received during the match.
The fight between Aliev and Turkish Umut Camkiran ended chaotically, with spectators invading the ring and assaulting Aliev. The WBC president condemned the violence of the supporters and called for investigations and exemplary sanctions. Aliev shared a photo of his new belt on social media without commenting on the incident.
