Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis was involved in a heated public confrontation on Sunday night, just hours after the Premier League season ended.

Footage of a fight involving the Greek billionaire emerged on social media and quickly went viral, with football fans interested to know exactly what happened. Details of the scrap and the identity of the second part have now emerged.

The physical altercation took place in Athens ahead of the EuroLeague basketball final, which saw Olympiacos defeat Real Madrid. It showed the controversial Premier League owner being pulled away, looking absolutely livid.

The other man involved in the furious bust-up was Grigoris Dimitriadis, the nephew of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, according to The Sun. The video online shows Marinakis and Dimitriadis shouting at each other before an Olympiacos scarf is thrown towards the latter.

Nottingham Forest’s owner, who relinquished control of the club earlier in the season in case they reached the Champions League, was left with a black eye and torn shirt following the incident. Watch the bust-up below.

Kostas Karapapas, Olympiacos’ vice-president, appeared to get involved in the war of words as security had to stand between the rowing men. Marinakis, who owns Olympiacos’ football and basketball clubs, had the last laugh as his team won 92-85 in the final.

Marinakis Reportedly Speaks Out About Brawl

Greek reports have emerged with further details of what happened and may have sparked the fight. Marinakis and the former Secretary General to the Greek Prime Minister quickly turned physical after heated words were exchanged, according to witnesses.

The Forest and Olympiacos leader even reportedly accused Dimitriadis of ‘making some faces’ before then spitting at him. Per Greek City Times, the 58-year-old said:

The same report claims that lawsuits could be heading Marinakis’ way, with Dimitriadis’ legal team now considering their options. Tensions are said to now be running his in Greece with both men being powerful figures.

Tottenham are poised to make two new signings after securing their Premier League status.

GIVEMESPORT understands an agreement in principle is in place to sign Andy Robertson following his departure from Liverpool. The 32-year-old agreed terms in January, but Liverpool couldn’t source a replacement and the Scotland international did not want to leave Anfield unless it also suited the club.

Robertson played his final game for Liverpool on Sunday in a 1-1 draw with Brentford that secured Champions League football for next season.

When Robertson transfer could be confirmed

Spurs are now expected to sign him on a free transfer and the deal could be formalised before Robertson heads off to the World Cup with Scotland.

The signing was always contingent on Spurs staying in the Premier League, with Roberto De Zerbi’s side surviving courtesy of a 1-0 win over Everton on the final day.

Robertson is of appeal not only due to his Premier League experience and leadership, but his character as well. He made 378 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 14 times and was one of the most popular players in the dressing room.

Spurs are also favourites to sign Marcos Senesi on a free transfer. The 29-year-old left Bournemouth on a free transfer despite the Cherries qualifying for the Europa League via a sixth-placed finish.

Senesi had informed Bournemouth he wanted a fresh challenge last year and turned down multiple contract offers as a result.

Terms are in place with Spurs with Senesi making it clear to all European suitors his preference is to remain in the Premier League.

Two other clubs have been chasing Senesi

Manchester United have also considered Senesi, while Liverpool have been weighing up whether to enter the race. As it stands, Spurs are hoping to formalise Senesi quickly in order to avoid any surprises.

Senesi has had another outstanding season for Bournemouth making 37 appearances in all competitions and playing a pivotal role in Bournemouth gaining European football for the first time in their history.

Spurs staying up also boosts their chances of Micky van de Ven signing a new deal. Sources have told GMS he’s been impressed by Roberto De Zerbi.

However, there remains a realistic chance captain Cristian Romero is sold. Spurs are open to an exit on the right times, with the Argentine defender keen on a move to La Liga.

In what might’ve been one of the strangest fights of the year, sumo wrestler Chiyotairyu Hidemasa demonstrated the precise reason why weight-classes are required in contact sports as he dominated his MMA fight against 5-0 professional boxer Jorge Menasalvas.

The peculiar bout, which pitted the 320lbs sumo wrestler against a 192lbs boxer, was put together by Spanish promotion Dogfight Wild Tournament, for their fourth event, Tokyo Blood, in Madrid, Spain.

According to their website, their events provide “an experience where the fight breaks all traditional formats and each match takes the spectacle to the next level.”

In what was dubbed their “wildest event to date”, the other bouts included a tag-team war, a five-way last-man standing, and the first-ever rap battle that ended in a physical fight.

Chiyotairyu Hidemasa vs Jorge Menasalvas

Former top-division sumo wrestler Chiyotairyu Hidemasa (whose real name is Hidemasa Meigetsuin) traded the dohyo for the cage as he faced off in a one-of-a-kind bout. After graduating from university, Hidemasa questioned whether he should continue his sumo career or quit to become a teacher after his debut tournament in March 2011 was delayed due to a match-fixing scandal that rocked the world of sumo.

Throughout his 11-year career, Chiyotairyu managed his one and only championship in the Juryo rank, the second-highest division in professional sumo. He was also awarded a special prize (Sansho) called the Gino-sho, or technique, for his impressive 11-4 in November 2013. The sumo wrestler has also gained three gold starts, which are awarded after a lower-ranked wrestler beats a yokozuna, the highest rank in sumo wrestling, after twice-beating Harumafuji and also besting Kisenosato.

His MMA opponent came in the form of professional boxer Jorge Menasalvas, who currently boasts an unbeaten 5-0 record in the ring. The Spaniard’s first professional bout came in November 2024 with a unanimous decision victory over Diego Jair Ramirez, before Ramirez was disqualified in their rematch to hand his opponent the second win of his career. A points victory over Marius Mihai Dumitru and a first-round knockout over Leonid Arseniev meant that his unanimous decision victory over Frank Rojas in November 2025 took him to a 5-0 record.

Although Menasalvas may have had much more experience of striking, Chiyotairyu’s grappling experience from his sumo days set him in good stead going into the cage. With both fighters coming in at 6’0″, there was no real reach or height advantage for either, but the almost 130lbs in weight difference would prove to be somewhat of a determining factor.

From the outset of the fight, it was clear that there would only be one winner. Time after time, Menasalvas was met with the terrifying sight of his almost-150kg opponent sprinting across the canvas and slamming him into the fencing, with one such instance almost completely detaching the surrounding barriers. With Menasalvas up against it, the sumo wrestler would use his grappling experience to good effect, slamming his opponent to the floor and administering multiple hammer-fists.

Following five gruelling rounds, neither fighter managed to floor their opponent for good, meaning that the bout went to the scorecards. Unsurprisingly, Chiyotairyu saw his hand raised after winning via unanimous decision.
