A man suddenly hit Oliver Pocher in the face. His wife Amira is horrified by the “proper” slap in the face.
There was also an argument next to the ring in Felix Sturm’s (43) boxing match on March 26. The comedian Oliver Pocher (44) and football coach Christoph Daum (68) sat in the first row in the audience. An internet video shows a man approaching Pocher and suddenly hitting him in the face.
At the attacker according to a report by “Bild”. be an Instagram user who is said to have posted the clip himself. The man’s profile is currently unavailable. The newspaper reports the incident on its website. Pietro Lombardi (29) also commented on the incident and condemned the attack.
“Good morning, an interesting night is behind us, behind me – sleepless and yes, I was very, very angry,” reported Amira Pocher (29), the comedian’s wife, in an Instagram story. On social media, their followers would quickly find the said video that is currently circulating.
“Missed a slap in the face, but a decent one”
“Because last night some unemployed rookie wannabe rapper/comedian – I don’t know what he’d like to be – slapped my husband on the face, but a good one.” The attacker “of course filmed and uploaded it”.
“It’s for everyone you’ve put down – and whatever,” said the Instagram user about the video, according to Amira Pocher, among other things. “This beating down… People, these are all people who can defend themselves – and a person who has an opinion. But fighting something like that with violence and then celebrating… You should be ashamed, really.”
Privately, Amira and Oliver Pocher rely on harmony
Privately, the Pochers are very concerned about harmony. “I’ve developed a lot as a person through Olli,” says the moderator in a recent interview with “Bild am Sonntag”. “I learn a lot from him and I’m extremely grateful to him for that. He loves harmony just like me and can take a lot.” Certainly it is “not always easy” with her either, but her husband is “very willing to compromise and in need of harmony”.
The couple might have a real argument “once a year. But that usually doesn’t last long. Then we love each other again and one starts laughing.”
