Personal trainer’s feud with bodybuilder famous for his ‘Lamborghini body’ deepens as he releases private WhatsApp messages after wild brawl: ‘Money is the root of all evil’

  • Messages show money dispute between brawling body builders  
  • Hossein ‘Yakiboy’ Balapour and Marven Yacoub fought on street
  • Yacoub’s messages show him asking Balabour for money owed 

Personal messages reveal a dispute over money may lie at the heart of a wild street brawl between two of Australia’s best-known body builders. 

Hossein ‘Yakiboy’ Balapour appeared to viscously attack personal trainer Marven Yacoub while the two were standing amid a group of men alongside a busy road in the inner Sydney suburb of Zetland last week.

After Balapour rained down blows and kicks, he pulled out what appeared a long thin weapon to strike Yacoub and pursued him through traffic to land several blows until the other men were able to intervene.

Yacoub later released a WhatsApp exchange between him and Balapour where he futilely seeks money money he says is owed to him.

‘Hey bro you need to transfer $2110 this week,’ Yacoub writes on December 20. 

The man with a ‘Lamborghini body’ replies: ‘Hey brother yes but I do half because I have to pay $1200 to my lawyer.’

He goes on to say he will send as soon as he has the money.

Yacoub followed up the screengrab with two messages. 

‘I don’t need to show any more messages,’ he writes.

‘Moral of the story is. People quickly forget what you do for them. But don’t believe the hype of what people show they have on socials.’

‘But when you get betrayed by someone who you helped at they’re lowest because you considered them a brother when no one else had a hand out for,’ he writes

‘Then you get sh*t on. There’s no betrayal worse than when you do good from your heart and get spat on.’
