Both parties from the viral Ibiza fight video have come forward, with both offering their version of events after people were hit with flying chairs that sent them crumpling to the ground – or into the water in one case.
The viral video, which was first posted on TikTok by @topboy22, saw groups of men (of course) coming to blows at the Marco Polo Hotel in San Antonio, Ibiza. An unidentified woman tried to get between the two groups, only to be hit with a flying chair thrown by footballer Kian Harratt. Just moments later, another flying piece of furniture sent a man falling into the pool. Hilariously set to the viral Jet2 Holidays sound, the video concludes with people rushing to the woman’s side.

The clip has since been widely shared across the internet, amassing millions of views on Twitter alone, so the two men have come forward with somewhat contradictory statements.
The footballer from the Ibiza fight video posted a statement
Kian Harratt, who plays professional football for Oldham Athletic, posted a statement on TikTok after spotting the fanfare surrounding his viral Ibiza fight video.
@kian.harratt3 Just for the people who have seen the video circling the internet off me throwing a chair “FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON”
here’s the fella who started it all and let me just say he was the worst man you could ever come across and a bully! He was 6,6 and built like a brick! Anyways he was swimming over to young couples while there at chilling and trying to make the lad feel uncomfortable flirting with there girls and all sorts off daft stuff like that! And one off my mates who is only 18 by the way jumped in the pool and started splashing him having a laugh like you do on holiday then it’s stopped! After that my mate got out off the pool and the big fella shouted over to him wtf are you looking at so obviously my mates said to him I’m looking at you the fella as then flipped and started walking to my mate and the woman who gets his with the chair is in this video here trying to stop him my pal then goes dancing over to him not expecting the man to punch him…but anyways he hit my pal in the face and dropped him and then proceeded to kick him in the face while he was down
the video cut off tho after that obviously like any normal mates would do we’ve backed him up I tried staying out the way as I don’t want the trouble a chair then got lobbed towards me so I picked the chair up and threw it back and it accidentally hit the woman who as you can see went down abit easy but besides that I was very apologetic and I felt terrible, but I’d have felt even worse if we left my mate to get badly beaten up while he’s trying to enjoy his holiday I hope this video opens peoples eyes I had to post it cause I’ve had nothing but abuse all morning and I’m sure this will clear it or so it should
“Here’s the fella who started it all and let me just say he was the worst man you could ever come across and a bully! He was 6,6 and built like a brick!” he said.
“Anyways he was swimming over to young couples while there at chilling and trying to make the lad feel uncomfortable flirting with there girls and all sorts off daft stuff like that!”
One of his group then jumped into the pool to splash the man, which is how the fight started. The man is said to have punched the 18-year-old in response, kicking him when he was down, which sparked the chair-throwing moment.
“I’d have felt even worse if we left my mate to get badly beaten up while he’s trying to enjoy his holiday,” he added. “I hope this video opens peoples eyes I had to post it cause I’ve had nothing but abuse all morning and I’m sure this will clear it or so it should.”
The so-called ‘6’6 bully’ clapped back

Brandon Watkins also came forward as the “6’6 bully”, though he claimed to be closer to 6’4 in an interview with the MailOnline.
“The fight happened on day five of our holiday. We’d been around that pool every day and getting on with everybody, and making friends with people. These guys turned up and started throwing balls about. ‘Several people were saying they’re going to be trouble even before it kicked off,” he explained.
“At one point, one of his mates got in the pool next to me and just started aggressively splashing me. One of them said ‘What are you looking at?”
He said the group seemed drunk, and before he knew it, Kian was launching the chair across the pool. Another chair was thrown directly at Brandon, which sent him falling into the pool before another piece of furniture was thrown on top of him.
He added: “After the brawl happened, people were buying us drinks and congratulating us, that’s how bad this group were. It’s just outrageous for a footballer to behave like he did.”
Kian’s group was allegedly removed from the hotel as a result, with witnesses describing the ordeal as pure “carnage.”
