'I have videos': Boxer's bombshell claims about aftermath of kiss

Kubrat Pulev has hit back at Jenny SuShe after the heavyweight boxer was suspended for kissing the female reporter in a post-fight interview.

SuShe said she was “humiliated” by the kiss, and says Pulev also grabbed her on the backside at an afterparty later that night.

She has since taken legal action and hired Gloria Allred, a high-profile lawyer specialising in sexual assault cases.

However, speaking to German publication Bild, Pulev has denied the new claims.

“That’s not true. And, by the way, this woman is not my type,” he said.

“I’m not afraid – I also have videos if necessary.

“I have no fault and have done in my career already tens of thousands of interviews.

“Everyone knows me as a friendly and polite person.

“The woman came to me [at the weigh-in] and said, ‘After the fight, we party.'”

Immediately after the kiss, Pulev claimed the pair were friends.

“You may have seen a clip of me kissing a female reporter following an interview after I won my fight on Saturday night,” he tweeted.

“The reporter, Jenny, is actually a friend of mine, and after the interview, I was so elated, I gave her a kiss.

“Later that night, she joined me and my other friends at my post-fight celebration.

“On the video, after our kiss, we both laughed about it and thanked each other. There really is nothing more to this.”

‘No woman should be treated this way’

But SuShe, a reporter for Vegas Sports Daily, later held a press conference where she explained the alleged details of their encounter.

“Mid-interview he grabbed my face and kissed me. I was immediately shocked and embarrassed, and didn’t know how to respond,” she said.

“Next, I walked to the table to put my items in my backpack. He grabbed both of my buttocks and squeezed with both of his hands. Then he walked away without saying anything to me and laughed.

“It made me feel uncomfortable and frustrated that Kubrat Pulev would treat me in such an unprofessional manner.

“I did not encourage or consent to Mr Pulev grabbing my face, kissing me, or grabbing my backside.

“I was there at the event covering the boxing match as a professional member of the press.

“Kissing a woman on her lips without her consent and grabbing her is not acceptable. No woman should be treated this way.”
