An initial ruling of a six-month suspension—from time served—was essentially tabled, as the matter will be further reviewed during the commission's next hearing, which is presently scheduled for July 22. Because the CSAC falls within the realm of the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC), the current suspension in place prevents Pulev from fighting anywhere in North America until reinstatement of his boxing license.

Upon appearing in front of the commission at the July 22 meeting, Pulev will be required to have attended and completed sexual harassment training prior to applying for reinstatement of his boxing license. Failure to do so will result in his being suspended for 12 months and fined an additional $2,500.

In addition to mandated sexual harassment training and completion of such course, Pulev will also have to apply with the CSAC first before seeking a license with any other commission.

“My actions were wrong,” Pulev (27-1, 14KOs) admitted during Tuesday's hearing, accompanied by his immediate team absent Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum, who was overseas in Belfast to formally announce the next fight for Top Rank featherweight Michael Conlan. “I do realize that I made a mistake. Not just because it was bad to do this on camera, but it set a bad example for how an athlete should conduct himself in public.”

The incident prompted the CSAC to issue an administrative suspension for violation of California Code of Regulations, title 4, section 390 issued on March 26, 2019. Ravalo also retained the services of high-powered attorney Gloria Allred, with the two present at Tuesday's meeting in hopes of discouraging the commission from permitting Pulev to be removed from the suspension list.

“All he's done since then is slut-shame me,” Ravalo testified during Tuesday's hearing. “He's said so much stuff. I've kept quiet until today. But it's lies, it's all lies.
“All I wanted was an apology which I did not get until today.”

The heavyweight contender insisted there was a reason for such delay.

“I have not seen her until today, which is why I waited until now to apologize,” Pulev insisted. “I wanted to apologize to her in person.”

"I've never been approached for an interview by a journalist with a phone on a selfie stick," pointed out Pulev, as both of the videos conducted–prior to the pre-fight weigh-in and then in the wake of his aforementioned win—were filmed with Ravalo positioning her cell phone from a "selfie" angle so that she was visible with Pulev on camera during the interview. "But I am friendly with everyone, journalists and those who want to be journalists."

boxers dont fight often enough these days for suspensions to be much damage, at least in most cases

100%. Especially 6 month suspensions.

Minimum 2 years suspension is what makes the difference. What Whyte had for example. Or even Galahad

I’m more bothered about the absurd abuse Pulev’s fans unleashed on Ravalo than Kubrat’s actions.

At least he eventually realised he made a mistake, even though he wrongly published material that dishonesty portrayed her in a negative light.

Far too many fight fans unveiled their true misogynistic tendencies, which I found quite appalling.

And this is coming from one of the least politically-correct person you could ever hope to meet.

what did he portray dishonestly about her

I'm not bothered about that..nothing to do with "true misogynistic tendencies"...a lot of criticism made sense..

i don't understand why he got suspended for what?

gotta love boxing miller will be back before pulev

He posted videos implying she was a flirtatious lap dancer, but without context.

I have female friends in my life that do silly things when they’re drunk or partying. It doesn’t mean they’re sluts. They feel safe in my company. It’s all harmless fun.

There’s a difference between doing things with a willing recipient and unwanted advances.

The shade

On a serious note though, his next fight is thought to be against Joshua, later this year, which will undoubtedly be in the UK so unless the IBF get involved, this should only stop him from having warm up fights right? Unless i'm missing any other reason that this would be prevented?

Miller vs Pulev late 2019!! C'mon!!

i guess she felt safe in kubys presence right after

At least they upheld his win over Dinu.

I don't watch pulev fight anymore, he's seriously as dull a fighter as I've ever seen in 4+ decades. He and fury would be brutal, but this is bullshit.

The only exciting fight Pulev has ever been in was against Wlad and that’s cuz he got dropped many times and stopped.

Never. I didn't watch a wlad fight after haye until fury.

Nope, I may have seen a gif of the ko.

Kubrat Pulev must complete a sexual harassment course and pay a $2,500 fine, before boxing officials will lift his ban for kissing a female reporter 'without her consent'.

The Commyfornia Gillette #MeToo girly boys have their panties in a wad. If he kissed a boy they'd be applauding.

"Slut shaming"? There's a video of the NAKED SUSHI QUEEN riding some guy's lap at her "reporter interview" session the night before! That's just one small clip of film. What do you suppose she was doing the rest of the night? She was in full rutting heat.

F them. Just don't fight in the USSA! Or will the boxing mobs be able to stop him from fighting anyplace now?

Do you think normal women expect normal men to first "get their consent" before kissing them? Ask my wife if i got her consent before kissing her the day we met. Now they expect Pulev to give them money - Of course. That's what this is all about. Naked Sushi girl was all smiles until someone told her she knew a way to take Pulev's money away from him - plus travel halfway around the world to sit through a class taught by some California transgender about "sexual harrassment", plus get banned from boxing for a year... and at least half of them here thinks that is all so very splendid. Damn, how do they say, Beam me up, Scotty!
