Boxer Who Lied About Being Tricked Into Gay Porn Readies Comeback

Remember Yusaf Mack? Probably not, so here's a refresher:

In late 2015, the Philadelphia boxer made headlines after it was discovered he filmed a gay porn scene in December 2014. When the news broke, Mack initially claimed he was tricked and drugged into filming the x-rated scene. He said he couldn't remember filming, though he appears to be cognizant in the clip.

DawgPound USA, a gay porn studio featuring men of color, released a statement, threatening legal action. Not long after that, Mack confessed he lied and said he did gay porn because of money woes.

It's been awhile since the ex-professional boxer has been in the media, but Mack gave a fascinating interview with Gawker this week and is attempting to make a gay porn comeback. You should read the whole thing, which you can do by clicking here, but below are some of the biggest takeaways.

In his 2015 statement where he confessed he was lying about the incident, Mack came out as bisexual. He later told a Fox-affiliate he was gay. Speaking to Gawker, he said he's "try-sexual," meaning he's willing to experiment.

Mack said he wants to have a career in porn, telling Gawker he's already filmed a scene for the gay porn company Reality Dudes via its "Reality Thugs" imprint.

"It's something new for me. I'm just getting used to it as I go," Mack told the site of filming his new adult scenes. "I got good people around me and they telling me to do my thing. At the end of the day, I got 10 kids. Nobody's helping me get nothing. I gotta do what I gotta do for my children and myself."

He said he's no longer doing porn for money, but because he enjoys it.

The boxer also opens up about his personal life, especially his children. In 2015, Mack said his oldest daughter told him to kill himself after news broke about her father's porn scene. He told Gawker he still hasn't talked to her, however. And though he's spoken with his youngest daughter, Mack said her mother told her "Don't kiss him. Don't hug him."

"It hurts me, but I'll get over it," he told Gawker. He added he has a good relationship with his other children.

Mack then talks about his personal life, saying he hasn't had sex with a man off-camera. He told Gawker his ideal mate would be a woman, adding, "I told you I'm a try-sexual. She would have to be open, though. She would have to know what I like, and if you ain't acting right, I'm outta here."
