Fights break out during Duel: Arena kickboxing event at Kia Center

Multiple altercations occurred at the Kia Center in Orlando during the Duel: Arena kickboxing event held on August 29. The unrest began during a bout between Ben “King” Azoulay and Paul Miller, known as “Gypsy Crusader.” Spectators reported that Miller’s supporters waved Nazi flags and performed salutes, drawing reactions from others in attendance. Security personnel escorted several individuals from the venue as fights broke out in the crowd. Officials from the Kia Center stated that while they condemn hate speech and racism, they are bound by the First Amendment and cannot deny facility access based on political ideology or personal perspectives. Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer addressed the event on social media, describing the use of hate symbols as unwelcome in the city. Miller, who has a history of white supremacist rhetoric and previous criminal convictions, appeared as a combatant on the card.
