It’s been a roller coaster ride the past two weeks when it comes to boxer Yusaf Mack.

After a porn video showing the boxer in a threesome with two other men began to make the rounds online, Mack had initially claimed that he had no recollection of shooting the video. He maintained adamantly that he was straight and that he had taken a pill with some alcohol and woke up later on a train with money for the shoot in his pocket.

However, he later admitted that his account was “all a lie” and that he had been aware of what he was doing. He said that he was bisexual.

Now, he is officially announcing that he is gay.

“I’m gay, I’m tired of holding it in, it is what it is, I live my life, I’m gay,” Mack said in an interview with Fox 29.

He admitted to shooting the porn video but said that he “didn’t know when it was going to come out” and was surprised when people he knew saw the video. “I didn’t think nobody from Philadelphia would see it.”

“The truth is out, and I’m sorry,” he said. “You gon’ like me or love me regardless. I’m still me. So when you see me on the streets, I’m still Yusaf Mack.”
