Dennis Rodman Under Investigation For Allegedly Slapping Man Unprovoked
Dennis Rodman has had his fair share of legal trouble over the past several years, and police are once again investigating the Chicago Bulls legend after he was accused of hitting a man at a party for no reason.
According to a police re- port obtained by TMZ, Rod- man was celebrating his own birthday party at the Buddha Sky Bar in Delray Beach, Fla., last week when he allegedly smacked a man in the face. The victim, 30- year-old Jeff Soulouque, says he was minding his business at the party when Rodman “unprovokedly

turned around and smacked him.” Soulouque says Rodman immediately began apologizing to him and offered to take him out to dinner the following night to make amends.
Police spoke with a wit- ness who corroborated Soulouque’s story, and the alleged victim says he was diagnosed with a left corneal abrasion — also known as a scratched eyeball — at the hospital. Rodman’s attor- ney, Lorne Berkeley de- nies that Rodman slapped anyone. He also said Rod- man was not drinking.
“I’ve spoken with people who were with Dennis the entire night of the alleged in- cident at Buddha Sky Bar,” Berkeley said. “No one saw any such incident occur and Dennis was sober the entire night.”

Details of a rumored title unification fight between Errol Spence, Jr. and Shawn Porter have now been reported.
FOX Sports boxing insider Mike Coppinger reported on Tuesday night that Spence and Porter are ex- pected to fight on Aug. 3 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The real surprise is that Cop- pinger reports that fight is expected to be available on FOX and not pay-per-view.

Spence, 29, has fought at Barclays Center three times in his career, though his last two fights have been at Jerry Jones/Dallas Cowboys loca- tions (AT&T Stadium and The Star in Frisco). He is 25-0 with 21 knockouts in his ca- reer and holds the IBF welter- weight title.
Porter, 31, is the WBC welterweight champ. He is 30-2-1 with 17 knockouts and has fought four of his last five fights at Barclays Center.
