What started as a routine ride to the airport spiraled into complete chaos when a British boxer lunged at a cab driver in the early hours of the morning. The footage went viral due to the surreal nature of the incident, especially because of the athlete’s unusual “explanation.”
Boxer Loses Control in a Turkish Taxi and Claims He Attacked Because He Believed He Was “Being Kidnapped”
During the trip, Ross Kitchen began acting uneasy until he suddenly lashed out inside the vehicle and later on the street, causing serious injuries to 56-year-old Kadir Bicer, according to the Istanbul Prosecutor’s Office. The taxi’s cameras captured the fighter behaving erratically moments before launching the assault.
In court, Kitchen said he suffered a panic attack and genuinely believed he was being abducted, denying any intent to rob the driver. Authorities are considering charges that could put him behind bars for up to 33 years, while the case continues to spark debate and disbelief due to the scale of the confrontation.
