In the age of social media, even the boxing ring is not immune to the flurry of fiery exchanges in social media that can spark at any moment. This time, the battle is not between contenders wearing gloves, but between a boxing enthusiast and a high-profile promoter. An upcoming super lightweight boxing match, set to hit the screens on Showtime, has become the epicenter of heated controversy.
