Curtis Harper and Efe Ajagba received placement on the live FOX Sports 1 broadcast of Premier Boxing Champions Friday night from Minneapolis.
But that wasn’t enough for Harper.
The boxer exited the ring moments after the bell sounded for his bout, giving Ajagba the victory.
According to a post by Jordan Hardy, Harper “said he walked out of the ring because he’s not getting paid enough to fight and that he wants respect.”
If y’all are wondering I spoke to Harper and he said he walked out of the ring because he’s not getting paid enough to fight and that he wants respect. ♀️ #AjagbaHarper #PBConFS1
