If you've been reading Complex for a while, you may recall the bizarre tale of Yusaf Mack, the retired Philadelphia boxer who appeared in an adult film back in 2015.

At the time, Mack claimed that he was drugged and put in a gay film after he believed he was hopping on a train to NYC to appear in a straight one. He says that  he only found out about what really happened when people in his neighborhood showed him the footage, and even stated his denials to the Philadelphia Daily News. "My whole life, I’ve been what they call a whoremonger," he told them at the time. "I love females. The only time I touch a man is when I’m in the ring fighting."

After awhile he finally just dropped that ridiculous charade, admitted it was a lie, and now currently stars under the stage name "Philly Mack."

All that brings us to the video at the top of this page, which was recorded this past Saturday evening and originally posted by TMZ.

The man taking the brunt of the ass kicking was apparently on the losing side of it because, according to Mack, he had continuously trolled Mack online over the boxer's sexual orientation. Witnesses report that Mack attacked the man as he was having his hair washed in the sink. Furthermore, Mack says he does not feel remorse for applying the whooping, and instead believes it's what the guy deserved.

TMZ reports that the victim was not interested in giving a quote, but that he had indeed posted a number of homophobic statements on his Facebook page, including this one that addressed the one-sided fight:

"I rather have a video of some beating me up then a video of someone seeing me take a d*** up my a** any day."

The victim says that he will retaliate by fighting Mack "again," which, not very surprisingly, failed to frighten the ex-pro boxer.
