Dataran warisan: Spectator provocation has been cited for a scuffle during the Malaysia International Muay Championship 2026 (MIMAC 3.0) final, but swift action by authorities restored order.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Perak Tomoi Association president Mohd Ezry Azamin Abdul Wahab stated that the trouble began when a Moroccan fighter accidentally kicked the downed Malaysian athlete, breaking the rules and angering the crowd. "Okay, in the final, according to the rules and regulations, when a fighter goes down, the other can't strike. But I believe it was unintentional. The situation was quickly brought under control, with police providing excellent security," he told reporters after the match at Dataran Warisan.

The incident occurred during the bout featuring national fighter Muhammad Nazifi Mat Nasir (GPY Ciko), who defeated Morocco's Ousama Taoud in the 68-70kg category to win the Perak Malaysian Association of Youth Clubs (MAYC) chairman Muhammad Naim Al Amin Saharudin belt.

Mohd Ezry Azamin mentioned that the Moroccan fighter was one of four debutants in Malaysia, with their participation status to be reviewed post-match. "I haven't decided anything yet. We usually do a post-mortem the day after the event, then make our call," he said.

On future events' security, Mohd Ezry assured that organisers will enhance controls through tighter cooperation with police and internal security teams.
