Fights

Jason Luv is weeks away from making his boxing debut against his rival, Adam22 ... and he tells TMZ Sports the real reason why the popular podcaster is fighting him is 'cause he needs his manhood back!!

We chopped it up with Luv as he prepares for his showdown with Adam ... and he tells us there is nothing fake about the hard feelings between the two heading into their match.

"It's a little animosity, because you got to remember, I smashed his wife, and all the fans and people are saying all kinds of crazy things," Jason said. "So he feel like he got to regain his manhood, and I'm here to try to make sure that I still take it away."

In December, a video went viral showing a drunk, belligerent woman attacking bar staff in San Francisco ... now one of the bartenders she terrorized has reportedly been fired.

ICYMI ... Shireen Afkari had a wild altercation at the popular food spot, Hazie's. After appearing to get cut off from drinks -- reportedly for causing a ruckus -- Shireen was caught on video shouting at and getting physical with employees as well as fellow patrons.

After striking one customer, Shireen was slammed to the ground by a restaurant worker ... but that's not who is reported to have been fired. Outside, Shireen was running on the sidewalk, and apparently got tripped by bartender Miguel Marchese ... and Miguel is reportedly the employee who was let go.

The Golden State Warriors aren't playing around when it comes to fan violence -- the team banned two spectators after a wild brawl broke out in the stands during Wednesday's game.

TMZ Sports spoke with the Warriors on Thursday after several videos surfaced on social media showing two men going at it during the Dubs vs. Bucks game at the Chase Center.

"SFPD (San Francisco Police Department) was on location to defuse the situation," the org. said. "The fans have been banned from future Chase Center events."

The Warriors also told us no one was injured ...which is pretty remarkable after watching the video.

The Golden State Warriors showdown against the Milwaukee Bucks took a violent turn Wednesday night -- but not on the basketball court -- fans were brawling in the stands, and it got violent!

A fellow fan in the Chase Center recorded what looked to be three people involved in a fight ... though one guy appeared to do most of the punching, landing shot after shot on his opp.

While it's unclear what started the melee, the clip begins with a dude in a black shirt being put in a headlock by another man in a grey quarter-zip. That's when a man wearing a Steph Curry jersey began throwing punches at the man in the black shirt.

A recent Broadway production of "Mamma Mia!" looks like it had more drama in the audience than on the stage ... a man in the crowd went nuclear on some women seated behind him ... and his epic freakout is all on video.

The footage, which is going viral online, shows a man at the Jan. 3 theater performance getting up from his seat at intermission and popping off on a bunch of ladies seated near him ... he shouts for security and tells his neighbors, "You want me to make a scene? I'm going to make a scene!!!"

It's January 6, so of course, there is chaos in Washington, D.C. ... and this time tensions are flaring at a march memorializing the Capitol Riot ... a fight broke out, and it's all on video.

Profanity-laced insults led to a physical confrontation Tuesday morning at the InterContinental The Willard hotel ... a large brawl ensued after a counter-protestor showed up to disrupt a memorial event honoring Ashli Babbitt and four others who died in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.

Proud Boys members and J6 convicts organized the event, and they didn't take kindly to a woman who showed up with a megaphone and started calling them "p****."

Check out the footage ... the mob surrounds the counter-protestor, shouting profanities at her and putting middle fingers in her face, and then a woman with an American flag comes over and kicks off the violence.

A wrestling match between a top-15 UFC heavyweight and a man with no legs? It might sound like a crazy concept ... but it's gonna be reality when Zion Clark looks to take down Valter Walker next month in Miami ... and Clark tells TMZ Sports he's gonna choke Walker out "like a boss!"

We chopped it up with Clark -- who was born without legs -- and, he is confident as ever heading into his showdown with Walker, the brother of UFC light heavyweight Johnny Walker.

Despite the clear advantage for Walker ... Clark is making it clear he's not one to be taken lightly.

"Uncut Gems" might just be a movie, but it looks like it nailed the volatile nature of the jewelry industry in New York ... because a couple of well-known jewelers got into a massive brawl Friday.

Here's the deal ... a jeweler named Maksud Agadjani, who owns TraxNYC -- and boasts more than 3 million Instagram followers -- confronted George and Freddy Akay of Akay Diamonds. He accused them of using his name to rip people off.

In the clip he posted, he goes crazy at the Akay booth ... screaming in a man's face and calling him a thief while shouting curses and other NSFW words at him.

Stefon Diggs will continue to receive a ton of support from the New England Patriots because he's super talented, while his teammate Christian Barmore might not get the same backing ... so says a sports executive with years of experience in the business.

We spoke with Andrew Brandt -- a Villanova Law School professor who worked for years as an agent and executive with the Green Bay Packers -- on "TMZ Live" Wednesday ... and we had to ask him about the Pats' statement of support for Diggs after he was charged with strangulation and assault.

Brandt tells us if you read between the lines of the Patriots statement, you can tell the organization's pissed they have to deal with this off-the-field attention while they should be celebrating an AFC East Division title.

Ian Ziering is facing an ugly reminder of a New Year's Eve incident from two years ago ... he's being sued for assault and battery stemming from a 2023 brawl on a Hollywood street with motorcyclists.

Jacob Hernandez, who says he was one of the bikers involved in the physical altercation, is dragging the "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum for intentional infliction of emotional distress, malicious prosecution, negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress ... this according to a civil complaint filed in Los Angeles Monday and obtained by TMZ.

In the filing, Hernandez laid out his POV of what went down ... saying he and his pals were driving on their mini-motorbikes between cars on Hollywood Blvd. on December 31, 2023. At one point, he says, they waited for a safe time to change lanes and stopped in front of a Mercedes-Benz, which Ziering was driving. Hernandez claims that's when Ziering stepped out of his car and "with full force shoved" him ... which Hernandez claims caused physical injuries to him and his vehicle.

Hernandez reiterates traffic was stopped at the time and insists he was "not impeding the flow of traffic in any way" when Ziering allegedly became aggressive toward him. He also claims he did not hit the Mercedes. TMZ published video days after the altercation which does appear to show Ziering shoving the man.

DK Metcalf has been hit with a hefty punishment for his role in an altercation with a Detroit Lions supporter on Sunday ... with the NFL suspending the Pittsburgh Steelers receiver two games.

David Harbour was captured on video doing some "Stranger Things" in Encinitas, California over the weekend ... the actor appeared to take a man's hat and make a run for it.

The head-scratching incident appears to have gone down Saturday at a gastropub called Encinitas Ale House.

Here's what the video -- which we were only permitted to view -- shows ... David enters the joint and then -- a short time later -- runs outside, carrying a white cap in his hand. He then looks over his shoulder, yelling, "C'mon, dude, f****** get me."

If you think Chipotle isn't spicy, you should head to West Hartford, Connecticut ... things got heated between customers and employees in a holiday brawl caught on video!

Watch the footage ... at the start of filming, a customer appears to throw a metal tray at a worker before diving behind the counter. As the customer rains blows down on the fallen employee, their coworkers step in.

Then another customer matches up with a different employee -- this one involved a lot more hair-pulling.

The No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world is hanging up his gloves -- Terence Crawford just announced his retirement from the sport.

38-year-old Bud shared the news on his Instagram on Tuesday ... saying, "Walking away as a great with nothing else left to prove. #CrawfordERA."

Crawford ends his career with a perfect 42-0 record ... capping it off with a massive win over Canelo Alvarez in September after moving up in weight to secure his third undisputed championship. 41 million people watched the epic showdown and unanimous decision victory on Netflix.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good fight! Insane video from a San Francisco restaurant shows a rowdy, belligerent patron going down hard on the sidewalk following an extended altercation with customers and staff.

Watch the video posted yesterday ... there's so much to cover. First, we see a young woman -- slurring her words and cursing loudly -- upset with a manager for apparently cutting her off from the bar. With her camera phone out, the woman appears to be planning to catch the staff "harassing" her. But while she's filming them, the rest of the customers are filming her.

The staff basically ignore her tirade, so the woman picks a fight with a fellow customer, violently swiping at the innocent bystander who had been recording the whole thing. The woman's date -- also visibly inebriated -- then restrains her as she swings wildly at the customer.

Then, as the woman walks away from the assault she just committed, a staffer appears to expertly take the obnoxious young woman to the ground with a swift trip. Somebody's taken a judo class or two!

Wiiiild scene in Thailand ... a pro soccer player attacked a retired U.S. cop and a bar employee after he allegedly tried to skip out on his tab, and boy was he handed some instant karma!

The chaos was caught on video ... showing Osvaldo Dos Santos Neto leaving the Tinder Bar in Udon Thani early Monday morning.

All appeared normal until the bar crew followed Neto out, accusing him of walking out on his 5,100-baht bill (about $162 USD), and that's where things got wild.
