Boxer Kubrat Pulev apologises for kissing reporter without consent
Bulgarian heavyweight boxer Kubrat Pulev has apologised for kissing reporter Jenny Sushe without her consent.
Immediately after the incident, Pulev refused to apologise claiming they were friends.
Sushe is reportedly taking legal action while also claiming Pulev ‘grabbed both my buttocks’, something he denies.
The kiss took place when Sushe interviewed the big Bulgarian after his win over Bogdan Dinu. Pulev was suspended by the California State Athletic Commission being told he ‘must conform to the principle of respect’ before he can fight again.
Speaking to 120 minutes, Pulev said : ‘I am sorry. I’m sorry about what happened (with Sushe). If I can go back in time, of course I will not do it. I do such things. I’m temperamental and I’ve done it purely out of happiness.
‘I can tell my fans it was the euphoria (of winning the fight against Bogdan Dinu). The people who sympathise with me will know that if I had to do it all over again – I would not (kiss Sushe).
‘If God gave me time to return (I’d change it). I’m sorry about that. But the point is, the desire that I have (in kissing Sushe) was made with no intention of violence (or hurt). This kiss was an expression of joy.’
Pulev responded to the claims he grabbed Sushe’s buttocks while talking to BILD.
‘That’s not true. And by the way, this woman is not my type. I’m not afraid – I also have videos if necessary.’
