Overview
- The match, which ended Saturday night, concluded with Paul Miller declared the winner by a close split decision and then twice making a Nazi salute toward his opponent Ben Azoulay.
- Video from the event shows a swastika flag and spectators making Nazi salutes, about half a dozen fights breaking out in the crowd, and venue staff removing the banner and escorting at least one person out.
- Miller used antisemitic slurs into a microphone after the fight; a corner member wore a shirt reading “FCK ISRL” and reporting and advocacy groups note Miller’s prior federal gun conviction and online white‑supremacist activity.
- Local officials and Jewish community leaders condemned the display and urged tighter booking and security rules at the Kia Center, while city management said First Amendment limits constrain excluding events based on viewpoint.
- The incident is likely to spur reviews of venue contracts, clearer lessee responsibilities, and stepped‑up security plans at the city‑operated arena as leaders weigh what changes are legally possible.
