Jamahal Hill addresses alleged domestic violence charges - "I just can’t wait for the truth to be told in court"
Jamahal Hill is still sidelined as he recovers from a torn Achilles that forced him to vacate the light heavyweight title. 'Sweet Dreams' recently found himself in the headlines as it was reported that he was arrested for domestic violence following an altercation with his brother, James Anthony Hill Jr.
The No.1-ranked light heavyweight addressed the reports on his YouTube channel, stating:
"There’s been a lot of reports out today with the situation that happened when I was back home in Michigan, visiting for the holidays. I will just say this, at this time it is an open case. I’ve been advised not to speak on it, which I know not to speak on it. I just can’t wait for the truth to be told in court and I will wait for that day and I look forward to that day."
Hill also shared a message for his fans, adding:
"The people who know me and know my character and truly, truly rock with me and know who I am, hold onto that and stay true to that. That’s all I’m going to say on that."
