Show me the money.
Sergey Kovalev has been sued by a woman who claims he failed make good on a $650,000 settlement after he allegedly punched her in the face in June 2018, TMZ Sports is reporting.
Jamie Frontz told police that she rejected the former light heavyweight titleholder’s advances and then followed her back to her cabin in Big Bear, California, where he allegedly attacked her. She claims he broke her nose, gave her a concussion and injured her back.
Frontz agreed to drop an earlier lawsuit for $650,000 but, she claims, he has paid only $250,000. That prompted her to file a second suit – seeking additional money to cover legal costs and punitive damages – for breach of contract.
Kovalev also has been charged with felony assault, for which he has pleaded not guilty. That case is pending.
The 36-year-old Russian reportedly earned as much as $12 million for his fight against Canelo Alvarez in November.
