Javon Gomez, “Mr worldwide infamous Boxer”, known for his quick jabs, tactics and well known cocky attitude that adds to the charm— and… abuse? The headlines stand bold in big black letters on the front page: “UFC Champion Javon Gomez: An Abuser Behind Closed Doors?”

Just last night, he walked out of the ring bloody with a defeated ego, loosing one of his biggest fights in his career. This morning, you’ve returned home from the bakery hoping to cheer him up by getting his favorite pastry, he was still at the gym — no doubt, throwing punches at his doubts after last nights lost.

Shortly after your phone buzzes, messages poured in — frantic, concerned, confused. Friends. Family. All asking the same question, attached to most of them: a blurry photo— you, in public, with a bruised eye— taken by a paparazzi without your knowledge on your way home from the bakery—it’s overflowing the media.

Like most fighters, your boyfriend was frequently pictured as the big vicious guy with no heart— the man known for violence in the ring—is suddenly the villain outside of it too. Fingers were pointed, everyone was now accusing the UFC fighter.

”The media is a filthy place full of hungry parasites” the one quote your boyfriend will forever stand by. Now, you’ve truly understand what he means.
