BJ Flores was shot and taken to hospital after being robbed at gunpoint
The Californian trainer, 44, took to Twitter today to reveal the shocking ordeal.
He wrote: “Tonight I was attacked by two armed motorcycle drivers as a passenger at a RED LIGHT.
“They pulled up, stuck a gun to my head, tried to steal my wallet and my watch.
“They shot me one time in the leg and I defended myself the best way I could.
“I am still in the emergency room waiting to have the bullet removed at 5:18am.
“Thank you for the well wishes. I will learn from this.
“Be safe out there please. Life is precious.”
Flores is a former boxer himself, famously fighting Brit Tony Bellew in 2016 – but was knocked out in round three.
He had 39 pro fights in the ring, winning 34 and losing four.
Flores has been working with YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul since 2021 and was in his corner for February’s defeat to former Love Islander Tommy Fury.
Flores was hospitalised in February last year with a “penis injury” after being bitten by a dog.
He shared a video on Instagram of him in a hospital bed, with a diagnosis sheet reading “dog bite, initial encounter” as well as “penile laceration, initial encounter”.
He then posted a message that read: “Talk about terrified, I am fine thank God!
“So whenever you think you’re having a bad day… Just remember that story about the guy that was in the ER until 4am with a ‘penile laceration’ from a dog bite.”
He was discharged after recovering from the surgery.
