Dramatic video shows the featherweight boxer walking down the steps to confront the man, seen wearing a black and white hoodie on the stage area.
He goes to walk away, but is repeatedly insulted by the man and decides to confront him.
The pair square off on the stage and Barrul appears to beat the man to the floor.
A woman behind the camera can be heard repeatedly saying “well done” as Barrul pummelled the man in León, Spain, last Thursday.
But their visit turned sour after Barrul confronted another man, having reportedly become unhappy at the way his fellow viewer was treating his own partner. Video footage posted on social media shows the 25-year-old leaving his seat and walking past several rows to argue with the male, before unleashing a flurry of punches and knocking him to the ground.
Barrul did show remorse over his reaction, and insisted he said sorry to fellow film-goers and cinema staff, and would act differently if faced with the same situation again. "I apologised in the cinema and publicly because those images do not make me proud,” he added.
“What is shown in that video is not who I am. I would try (if the same thing happened again) to get the security to come and take him away. If security had come on time, many things could have been avoided.”
