Former Boxer Kelly Pavlik Tells Cab Driver, "I'm not paying, go f**k yourself," Gets Charged with Theft
By Jason McIntyre
Kelly Pavlik, a former boxer who retired in January, was charged this morning with petty theft for stiffing a cab driver out of $25. Pavlik was out at a local bar at 2:30 this morning when he needed a cab home. Thirty minutes later, when the cab driver dropped Pavlik off at home, a TV station in Ohio reports that the former middleweight champion exited the car, said, “I’m not paying, go fuck yourself” and went into his house.
The cab driver called police.
