Jean Pascal apologises via Twitter – Boxing news
The recent Super Bowl game fell heavy on former WBC light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal as he lost his Mercedes-Benz S550 to a friend for losing a bet he placed on New England Patriots.
Jean Pascal revealed the unfortunate news through his Twitter account.
The repercussions of this revelation were intense which enforced Pascal to apologise for his misdeed.
Therefore, in a follow up statement, Pascal acknowledged, “It did involve my car, but I neglected to mention that my friend would only keep my car for a month. Times are still extremely hard and different for all of us and I would never make a mockery out
of these hard economic times by giving away a car. The wager I made was between a close friend of mine and it was simply that; a friendly wager. I do not condone gambling of any kind. This has definitely been a lesson for me. In the future I will be more responsible
with what I choose to put on social media. Again, I apologize.”
He further said that he is extremely passionate about sports and that at times he goes over the board. He added that at times he is overwhelmed in the spirit of athletics and makes decisions that are deemed by others such as this one.
Jean Pascal made his boxing debut on February 3, 2005. He defeated Justin Hahn via technical knockout in the second round. He competed against Martin Desjardins and won the Canadian National Super Middleweight title and the Quebec boxing Council title after
9 fights. He knocked out the then champion in the seventh round.
Jean Pascal lost to Carl Froch and decided to go move up and fight at the light heavyweight level. He won the WBC light heavyweight title by defeating Adrian Diaconu on June 19, 2009, at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
As of now, Jean Pascal seems worried about not only losing his Mercedes but also making his fans angry over his sloppy act. He seems to be going through a rough patch since he is out of form and at the same time he has lost his pricey car and trust of his
fans.
