Irish tourist, professional boxer defends himself against mob

Shopkeepers and members of the public in İstanbul attacked and were repulsed by a tourist, who they later realized was a professional boxer, according to a video circulating on social media that was apparently shot in early August.

Wanting to buy a bottle of water at a shop near his hotel in Aksaray, the Irish tourist of Kuwaiti origin, who was later identified as Mohammed Fadel Dobbous, opened the door of a refrigerator with such force that dozens of water bottles fell to the floor. Angered, the owner of the shop attacked Dobbous with a stick.

In a show of solidarity, neighboring shopkeepers also began to attack the tourist. According to the video, Dobbous positioned himself as though he were in a ring and fought off the members of the mob one by one. After taking a punch to the face, one assailant could barely walk. The shopkeepers sought assistance from members of a crowd that had immediately formed.

Several times, Dobbous withdrew to seek shelter inside his hotel but can be seen repeatedly plunging into the crowd minutes later, squaring off against shopkeepers wielding clubs, sticks and stools. As the tourist continued to fight, the shocked shopkeepers retreated.
