Paul Miller performs Nazi salute after kickboxing victory in Orlando

During a kickboxing match at the Kia Center in Orlando, fighter Paul Miller, also known as the ‘Gypsy Crusader,’ used antisemitic slurs and performed Nazi salutes following his split-decision victory over Ben ‘King’ Azoulay.

The event, Duel Arena 1, was marked by significant unrest. Spectators reportedly waved Nazi Swastika flags and performed Nazi salutes, leading to several physical altercations in the stands. Arena staff eventually confiscated a Nazi flag from the audience. Azoulay entered the ring carrying an Israeli flag.

Miller, who has a criminal record involving federal firearm charges and a history of extremist rhetoric, used a microphone after the bout to direct antisemitic insults at Azoulay. Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer condemned the actions, stating that symbols of hate and division are not welcome in the city.
