SERGIO MARTINEZ CANCELS MEDIA MEETINGS OVER THREATS RECEIVED


A media workout for lineal middleweight champion Sergio Martinez, scheduled for Tuesday at his gym in Ventura, California, was canceled on Monday for what the promoter Lou DiBella termed "security threats" against Martinez.

Martinez is in the final preparations for his championship fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on Sept. 15th, at the Thomas & Mack Center in Vegas. Lou Dibella stated, "This past weekend Sergio received threats from an unknown source and the car in front of his home was vandalized", "Unfortunately, until we have a security team in place, we are going to have to suspend any and all public and media appearances for Sergio, including upcoming media day scheduled for today. We apologize for the inconvenience to the media and fans that have planned on attending today's event. 

The treat was a verbal threat, but they went into extra precautions for his safety after the vehicle was vandalized in front of his home moments later. 

It seems to get real outside of the a lot of these boxing matches. Who do you have winning ?
