Bob Sapp held a press conference on Monday morning (Nikkan Sports report here with comments from Sapp’s lawyer, Michael Connette) at the Foreign Correspondents Club in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. Sapp told the press that he did not run away from fighting and that he wanted the fans to know the truth.
He went into detail about what happened at the K-1 5/13 Holland event and why he didn’t fight Ernesto Hoost, stating that what was said about him in the Japanese mass media was false. Sapp said that he felt angry with K-1 over contractual issues. When asked about whether or not Sapp would fight for another promotion, he stated that right now nothing was on the horizon. He finished by saying that his focus was strictly on resolving his problem with K-1 right now.
The role of Fuji TV covering the K-1 Holland show was mentioned several times, so there is some media pressure on the network.
