Terence “Bud” Crawford’s coach, Brian “BoMac” McIntyre, finds himself entangled in a legal fiasco following his arrest on September 4th at Manchester Airport. The cause: a loaded firearm detected in his luggage. As BoMac remains detained until his October 9th hearing, questions regarding the impact on Crawford's preparations for his rematch with Errol Spence Jr. loom.
The weapon’s discovery during routine luggage security checks has ignited a series of pressing questions. How did BoMac manage to enter the UK with a firearm? Was this oversight at the U.S. exit point or was the weapon acquired within UK borders? The implications of this oversight, especially considering the UK's stringent firearm laws, cannot be understated.
Elevated to prominence after Crawford’s victory over welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr., BoMac has enjoyed a stellar reputation in the boxing community. However, with his current legal troubles, the future remains uncertain, not only for him but also for the athletes reliant on his training expertise.
