The 29-28 card for Azoulay is the number people argued about afterwards. Ringside coverage treated it as an oddity, and the other two judges did not give him a single round. It was still enough to turn a clear win into a split.
How the fight went
Azoulay came out on a throne draped in an Israeli flag and played the villain to a crowd that was firmly on Miller's side. Miller walked out with Jake Shields, the former UFC and Strikeforce fighter, and looked like the only one of the two treating it as a fight.
The expectation was a mismatch. Azoulay's reputation online rested partly on a running claim of a thousand fights that nobody had ever recorded, and this was his first sanctioned bout. He turned out to be harder to get rid of than that suggested. He was cut on the shin early, kept walking forward anyway, and made Miller work for three rounds.
Miller's background showed in the clinch. Whenever Azoulay threw a kick to the body, Miller caught the leg and swept him to the canvas. He never looked in trouble and never looked like finishing it either, so it went the full three rounds to the judges.
What happened after the final bell
In the post-fight interview Miller mocked Azoulay for being short and "not tough". The Orlando Sentinel reported antisemitic remarks in the same speech. Video from the arena appeared to show Miller giving a Nazi salute twice towards the crowd after he left the ring, and a Nazi flag was displayed in the stands.
Then a fight broke out in the crowd. Once Miller had gone to the locker room, UFC middleweight Sedriques Dumas, who was there to support Phil Rowe on the undercard, got into it with a group of Miller's supporters and threw a man dressed as the Joker to the ground. The clip was filmed from several angles and was everywhere by the next morning. Dumas has not commented on it.
Orlando Venues, which runs the Kia Center, said the views expressed "belong solely to the individuals who expressed them" and did not reflect the venue or the city. Senator Rick Scott and Orlando mayor Buddy Dyer were among the officials who condemned the displays.
The complaint to the Florida Athletic Commission
On September 6, state representative Anna Eskamani asked the Florida Athletic Commission to revoke the promoter's license, suspend it on an emergency basis and bar Duel: Arena from future events in the state. Her letter points out that ten bouts were approved and eleven took place, and asks for the permits, weigh-in sheets, medical clearances and referee assignments. The unapproved eleventh contest is the one we covered in the bout Florida has no record of.
The commission told Eskamani it was looking at whether any statutes or rules had been broken. As of November 4 we have not found a public decision, a hearing date or a response from the promotion.
Who is Gypsy Crusader?
Gypsy Crusader is Paul Nicholas Miller, born August 11, 1988, in New York. He is known mainly for far-right livestreams, including costumed video chats with strangers, and has been banned from YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook and DLive. The Anti-Defamation League describes him as a white supremacist. In 2021 he pleaded guilty to federal firearms charges and was sentenced to 41 months in prison.
The fighting part is older than the streaming. Miller started Muay Thai in 2008, won a WKA regional title and a US national amateur title, and lost a WKA world title fight to Andrew Ball by second-round TKO in April 2014. His comeback began on March 14, 2026, when he beat rapper Supah Hot Fire (DeWayne Stevenson) by split decision in an exhibition boxing match in Miami. That makes him 2-0 in 2026, both by split decision.
Who is King Azoulay?
Ben Azoulay, who goes by King Azoulay, is an Israeli-American social media personality born May 11, 1990, and based in California. Most of his following comes from short videos, a lot of them about his height and his claims to have fought far more often than anyone can find a record of. The Miller fight was his first sanctioned bout of any kind.
Tapology has an October 16, 2026 bout listed for him against DeWayne Stevenson, the same Supah Hot Fire that Miller beat in March. It is marked as cancelled.
Will there be a rematch?
Nothing has been announced. Duel: Arena posted on September 6 that the first event was a "dry run" and that the next ones would be bigger, but has given no date, venue or card for a second show. With the Florida complaint unresolved, a sequel in Orlando looks less likely than one somewhere else. If either fighter appears on a second card, the result goes on our Duel: Arena hub on the night.
Where to watch the fight
Duel: Arena 1 streamed free on YouTube, Kick and X after the promotion dropped its pay-per-view plan in the final days before the event. Clips of the fight and the brawl are on all three platforms. The full results for the rest of the card, including Jenkins stopping Mike Perry in the main event, are on our Arena page.
Who is behind Duel: Arena?
The promotion belongs to the same people as Duel.com, the crypto casino founded by Ossi "Monarch" Ketola. The casino operates under an Anjouan license through Immortal Snail LLC, and nothing that happens on an Arena card changes that license. If you came here from the gambling side, our Ketola profile and the license and safety page are the relevant reading.
