According to Greek police, the fight spilled on to the street where the victim was punched, causing him to fall and hit his head on the pavement.
Police confirmed the victim Matt Jeffery, 35, died in intensive care at a hospital in Athens where he had been airlifted after the attack.
Described as a “gentlemen” by friends, Jeffery, from Somerset, was visiting Zakynthos for a bachelor party when the fight, which was captured on video, broke out at the popular nightclub strip on the island.
