Michael van Gerwen emphasizes that he is not a fight maker. This as a result of a Snapchat video that can be seen that he was involved in a fight in a catering business in Den Bosch last weekend. In addition, it was pushed and drawn. “I hate fighting,” said De Darter from Vlijmen on Monday morning on Radio538.
“Sometimes you end up in a situation that you don’t want to end up,” Van Gerwen said on the radio. “Are you going to walk away? That would have been the most sensible, but yes … everyone who has alcohol on sometimes says stupid things. So that was not so smart, from both sides. But it was actually nothing about nothing. I just want to forget this quickly. I think it’s a shame. But it is what it is.”
“Sad that this was filmed.”
What the fight was about is not clear. ‘MVG’ did not comment on that during the radio interview at 538 either. Van Gerwen would first have been at the IJmlive beach party at the Iron Man in Vught. Then he went to eat pizzeria Den Bosch at Shawarma and it went wrong there.
“That guy approached me from the kitchen, not the other way around,” Van Gerwen previously explained to the online medium dartsnieuws. According to Van Gerwen, the Akkefietje only lasted a few seconds. “It is made more exciting than it is. I think it is much sadder that this was filmed.”
He also immediately finished the situation with the nephew of the owner. “He sat with his hands in front of his face. He regretted it at all that this had happened. He also found it annoying. I spoke to him for a moment and then it is ready too.”
