Jahlil Okafor may be set to learn the hard way about ignoring negativity and especially hecklers.
TMZ Sports is reporting that the man Okafor knocked out in the second round of heckling is planning a lawsuit.
his attorney, Michelle Newton, tells TMZ Sports he’s a 27-year-old executive assistant who lives in Boston.
We know the man was knocked out cold during the melee at Storyville nightclub last week — but it was unclear from the footage if Okafor was his assailant.
But the victim’s attorney tells TMZ Sports they’re POSITIVE it was Okafor — and he needed 10 stitches to close the gash on his eye after Jahlil knocked him out.
The attorney used the statement, “we’re interested in resolving the matter,” which is code for right a nice check, and this can all go away.
