Ali Nurullah Hasan was a Turkish wrestler. He was known with his nickname as Filiz Nurullah Pehlivan to the Turkish public whereas he used the alias Hassan Nurullah for his professional wrestling career in Western Europe. He stood 7'2" (218 cm) tall and weighed 387 lbs (175 kg).[1][2][3][4]
The members of the "Turkish invasion" in 1894 (from left to right): Kara Osman of Plovdiv, Nurullah, Yusuf of Shumen, and Joseph Doublier.
In 1894, Yusuf İsmail accompanied him and Kara Osman of Plovdiv on their journey to Paris, organised by French former wrestler and promoter Joseph Doublier.[6] Nurullah's impressive physique (standing 2.18 m (7'2") tall and weighing 175 kg (387 lbs),[1][2][3][7] although exaggerated figures have also existed) was then noted as a tackle for finding eager opponents.[8] Nevertheless, Nurullah trained in Greco-Roman wrestling and started competing at Folies Bergère by 1895.[5]
Nurullah is renowned for his long rivalries with two formidable exponents of Greco-Roman wrestling: Paul Pons and Kara Ahmet.[5]
Nurullah quit wrestling in 1911 and died a year later in Istanbul.
