Kubrat Pulev Jenny Sushe Kiss

Boxer Kubrat Pulev has rejected the accusation he groped Jenny ‘SuShe’ Ravalo at an after-party after the journalist announced she should be taking legal action against the heavyweight.Ravalo confirmed last week plans to legal action after Pulev kissed her on the mouth during an interview after his recent fight. Pulev’s initial statement claimed he was friends with Ravalo and there was no issue between them, but the boxing reporter then held a press conference with her lawyer where she alleged the Bulgarian continued to harass her when she attended an after-party.The 37-year-old released a video of Ravalo appearing to ‘grind’ on a member of his team at the party and threatened to release further footage if needed. ‘This woman is not my type. I’m not afraid [of the legal action]. I have more videos if I have to [use them],’ Pulev told German newspaper Bild. ‘[I’m not at] fault. In my career, I have given tens of thousands of interviews and everyone knows me as a kind and polite man.‘The woman (Jenny Ravalo) came to me at the weigh-in and said, “After the fight, we will have a party”.’ Pulev’s licence has been suspended by the California State Athletic Commission and has been ordered to appear at a hearing. Ravalo was working at Pulev’s fight night as accredited media before attending the after-party.‘On March 22 I met Kubrat Pulev for the first time ever. I was there for the weigh in. I asked him if we could do an interview for Vegas Sports Daily and he said “yes”. We did a pre-fight interview,’ Ravalo said. ‘The next day, March 23, after the fight between Kubrat and Bogdan I asked Kubrat for a post-fight interview and he said “yes”. ‘I started the interview and mid-interview he grabbed my face and kissed me. I was immediately shocked, embarrassed and I didn’t know how to respond. ‘Next I walked to a table to put my items into a 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 covering the event as a professional member of the press. ‘Kissing a woman on her lips without her consent and grabbing her is not acceptable.‘Next I walked to a table to put my items into a backpack.
