Nine months have passed since a fight in a cinema to defend a woman who was being attacked by her partner put Antonio Barrul in the spotlight and put his sports career in danger. That chapter of his life has now come to an end, after the boxer was acquitted. “I can’t hide my happiness, I’m glad I was able to end this.“said the Leonese.
The boxer, who this Thursday spoke in AfternoonARhas not hesitated to acknowledge that, if faced with a similar situation, he would act as he did again: “I’m not a person to look the other way. I should help that person. What I don’t like are injustices, I am a fair person and I would have to stop that injustice, no matter what.”
“In front of my family and my children, in front of so many children, what I can’t let them see is that image. I prefer that they stay with the image of what happened, than that they stay with the image of a man attacking a woman“, he stated.
Barrul has also confessed that he has not had his best moment at a sporting level due to the judicial process: “These last two fights have cost me a lot. The preparations have been very hard and mentally I have gone through very bad times, I have had my family giving me strength, but It’s been a pretty tough few months.“.
The boxer has also revealed that he has not maintained any type of contact with the man he fought with, although he has maintained contact with the woman he defended. “He wrote to me twice, thanking me.. He told me that he no longer had anything with him, that he had broken up with him,” he explained, after thanking his lawyers for their work.
