Jean Deza caught in viral street fight in Peru
Peruvian former international footballer Jean Deza was recorded in a street fight on the afternoon of Friday 31 July. Video of the incident spread quickly on social media. Witnesses say the altercation began after Deza responded with insults to a group that greeted him, escalating into physical blows.
After initially leaving the scene, Deza threatened to return with more people and later came back with a group to continue the confrontation. The fight was reported from the Callao area, with some outlets specifying the San Miguel district of Lima.
Deza’s off‑field conduct has drawn repeated scrutiny, including a prior investigation for alleged attempted femicide and multiple assault accusations from former partners. His disciplinary record has also affected his club career, having played for Santos FC in Liga 2 and encountering contract issues with Sport Boys.
