Andrei Arlovski Breaks Silence On Viral Backstage Brawl With Jack Doherty: “They Were Threatening Me, My Wife, My Kid”

Andrei Arlovski insists his actions against Jack Doherty’s crew were necessary. Last Friday night at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, Arlovski found himself caught up in a backstage confrontation with Doherty during the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua event.

The situation began when social media influencer and streamer Doherty, widely known for filming himself deliberately colliding with strangers and then hiding behind his bodyguard when things escalate, tried the same stunt with Arlovski and quickly realized he had picked the wrong target this time.

Multiple videos circulating on social media showed Doherty attempting the same prank on the former UFC heavyweight champion, but Arlovski was in no mood to entertain it, and the 22-year-old YouTuber’s security appeared hesitant to step in as the situation escalated.
