Due to an unprecedented run of success at the international level, the American was already seen as a cinch for Trainer of the Year before we had even finished the entire month of July.
However, things seem to be getting worse. McIntrye was detained on Sunday morning when Manchester Airport security personnel discovered a rifle and ammo in his suitcase. Armed police officers discovered the 53-year-old in Terminal 2’s departure lounge and promptly took him into arrest.
Only a few hours prior, Chris Eubank Jr. had impressively stopped Liam Smith at the AO Arena in Manchester in the tenth round while using McIntyre as his principal second. Having never worked with Eubank before, McIntyre received acclaim after the fight for his performance.
But McIntyre’s life and career may be severely impacted by this occurrence. In the absence of extenuating circumstances, “possession of a firearm” carries a mandatory five-year prison sentence under the UK’s draconian gun regulations.
According to reports, a hearing has been scheduled for October 9 and McIntyre will remain behind bars until then. Eubank has so far declined to comment.
Who is Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre?
Between 1994 and 2007, McIntyre competed as a heavyweight journeyman. The Omaha, Nebraska native had a modest 7-14 (2 KOs) record, but his best accomplishment was outlasting Butterbean for the full four rounds in November 2004 despite being outpointed.
The height and weight of the 53 year old isn’t known. He has a net worth of $1-5 million.
McIntyre left the sport after five losses in a row and later discovered coaching to be his vocation. ‘BoMac’ had sparred with a skinny youngster who lived on the same Omaha street while getting ready for the Butterbean match. That teenager was Terence Crawford.
Since becoming a professional in 2008, Crawford has become stronger, winning world championships in the lightweight, super lightweight, and welterweight divisions. BoMac has been there for the entire journey and has assisted in shaping Bud into one of the modern era’s most complete fighters.
When Crawford stopped Errol Spence Jr. for all the welterweight belts on July 29, he made history as the first man to win double undisputed. Crawford was already a former undisputed champion at 140 pounds. He is also universally hailed as the best fighter in the world right now, pound for pound.
Amir Khan, Jamel Herring, and Maurice Hooker are three previous world champions besides Crawford and Eubank Jr. with whom McIntyre has collaborated. Keshawn Davis, a hot lightweight prospect who is expected to become a superstar, is currently being trained by him.
