A judge has been urged not to convict a professional mixed martial arts fighter who repeatedly punched a taxi driver in a row over a fare as it will “stop him in his tracks” in terms of his career.
Dylan Tuke (24) called the taxi driver a “sap” and a “fool” and told him “you re not in your country now” before he punched him in the head and face, breaking the man s front teeth.
The assault occurred in the early hours of December 16, 2018 after Tuke hurriedly jumped into the taxi without asking if he was available and told him to go to the city centre, Garda Elaine Duffy told Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
