Scandal in the boxing finale, the challenger shows tattoos with Hitler symbols.
It had to be a match of peripheral importance, in Italian sport, a boxing match for the Italian title in "feather" weights. But that between Hassan Nurdine and Michele Broili, will go down in history as the match between the Italian of Moroccan origin and the neo-Nazi. The match was won by Nurdine, but no one will remember the sporting result, but will not forget Broili's tattoos, which clearly restored the symbols of Nazism. Among other things, with more hidden symbolism, the Italian boxer proudly wore the "head of the dead", totenkopf in German, the symbol of the concentration camp guards, but did not miss the number 88, which means the eighth letters of the Italian alphabet, two "H" which in Nazi logic would mean Heil Hitler, "Glory to Hitler". Slightly smaller, near the chest, the SS symbol of the selected Nazi troops seemed even clearer. Images of the Nazi boxer quickly spread on social media, sparking protests, so much so that it forced the Italian Boxing Federation to intervene, suspending Broil and accusing him of damaging the image of the sport. A decision that many criticize as hypocritical, from the moment it was not the first time the Nazi boxer fought in the ring, obviously with those tattoos on the body.
