A brawl between bodybuilders has resulted in serious charges, with the Rosebery home of influencer Hossein Balapour raided by police. The altercation was intense, as veteran bodybuilders squared off.
The altercation, which occurred in the middle of a busy street, has caused quite a stir among the fitness community. With thousands of followers between them, Hossein Balapour and Marven Yacoub are both familiar faces in the world of bodybuilding. Despite their years on social media, the two appear to have an ongoing feud that recently culminated in a physical altercation. Footage captured at the scene showed Hossein and Marven coming to blows in broad daylight while onlookers desperately attempted to separate them before further harm was done. Whether this incident will serve as a deterrent or further fuel their competitive spirits is yet to be seen.
Balapour and Yacoub can be seen conversing with one another while standing with other males on a footpath in the bizarre video. Balapour pushes Yacoub to the ground and starts to strike, which precipitates a brawl. A pursuit across the road starts when they both get back on their feet. Balapour occasionally strikes Yacoub with whatever he takes out of his pocket.
They are well-known individuals in Sydney’s bodybuilding and fitness communities. Despite keeping a low presence on social media, Yacoub is connected to a number of businesses that promote health and wellbeing. On the other hand, Balapour is active on Facebook, Instagram and Onlyfans.
